I have an api, which return xml data.
I am writing a testcase in cypress, through which I am requesting that api, which returns following data
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Student>
<Roll>55</Roll>
<Name>ABC</Name>
</Student>
How do I parse this response body and get Name of the student from this response ?
Synchronously, with jQuery
const xml = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Student>
<Roll>55</Roll>
<Name>ABC</Name>
</Student>`
it('parses the student name from xml', () => {
function xmlProperty(xml, property) {
return Cypress.$(Cypress.$.parseXML(xml)).find(property).text()
}
const name = xmlProperty(xml, 'Name')
console.log(name)
})
or in a Cypress command chain
const xml = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Student>
<Roll>55</Roll>
<Name>ABC</Name>
</Student>`
it('parses student name in a Cypress command', () => {
cy.wrap(Cypress.$(xml))
.then(xml => xml.filter('student').find('name').text())
.should('eq', 'ABC')
})
Edi: I made a search and found a similar question that has good solutions that seems to be working
const text = "<string>This is my xml</string>"; //API response in XML
const parser = new DOMParser();
const xmlDOM = parser.parseFromString(text,"text/xml");
const value = xmlDOM.getElementsByTagName("string")[0].childNodes[0].nodeValue;
console.log(value)
