DataType Utility: DataType.XML.parse()

The XML module of the DataType Utility allows you to take a string and convert it to an XML document.

To convert a string to an XML document, simply call the parse() function of the DataType.Number class:

  1. YUI().use("datatype-xml", function(Y) {
  2. var output = Y.DataType.XML.parse("<myroot><item type='foo'><name>Abc</name><rank>1</rank></item><item type='bar'><name>Def</name><rank>2</rank></item><item type='bat'><name>Ghi</name><rank>3</rank></item></myroot>");
  3. // output is an XML document
  4. });
YUI().use("datatype-xml", function(Y) {
    var output = Y.DataType.XML.parse("<myroot><item type='foo'><name>Abc</name><rank>1</rank></item><item type='bar'><name>Def</name><rank>2</rank></item><item type='bat'><name>Ghi</name><rank>3</rank></item></myroot>");
    // output is an XML document
});
