How To Read Xml File Using Filereader Javascript?
I need to get XML from a ODF file. I tried using FileReader readAsText and readAsBinaryString but its not working. FileReader readAsText returns some special characters for odf fi
Solution 1:
Here's a browser-based example, but this should be applicable to other JavaScript contexts:
Make a Form:
<divid="upload"><h2>Gimme Yo ODF Cornbread</h2><formenctype="multipart/form-data"method="post"><inputtype="file"name="odfxml"id="odfxml" /></form></div>
Handle the Upload: (I'm using JQuery for brevity/simplicity)
<script>
$("#odfxml").change(function(){
var file = document.getElementById("odfxml").files[0];
//You could insert a check here to ensure proper file typevar reader = newFileReader();
reader.readAsText(file);
reader.onloadend = function(){
var xmlData = $(reader.result);
};
});
</script>
The xmldata
variable contains your XML, ready for your magic.
Solution 2:
Using the response like text:
var xml = data.replace(/[\s\S]+<\?xml/, '<?xml');
xml = xml.replace(/office:document\-meta>[\s\S]+/, 'office:document-meta>');
:)
If you need to load the xml like jquery object:
xml = $(xml);
then you can use jquery selector's on
