/** * @author Ed Spencer * @class Ext.data.XmlReader * @extends Ext.data.Reader * * *

The XML Reader is used by a Proxy to read a server response that is sent back in XML format. This usually * happens as a result of loading a Store - for example we might create something like this:

*

Ext.regModel('User', {
    fields: ['id', 'name', 'email']
});

var store = new Ext.data.Store({
    model: 'User',
    proxy: {
        type: 'ajax',
        url : 'users.xml',
        reader: {
            type: 'xml',
            record: 'user'
        }
    }
});
* *

The example above creates a 'User' model. Models are explained in the {@link Ext.data.Model Model} docs if you're * not already familiar with them.

* *

We created the simplest type of XML Reader possible by simply telling our {@link Ext.data.Store Store}'s * {@link Ext.data.Proxy Proxy} that we want a XML Reader. The Store automatically passes the configured model to the * Store, so it is as if we passed this instead: *


reader: {
    type : 'xml',
    model: 'User',
    record: 'user'
}
* *

The reader we set up is ready to read data from our server - at the moment it will accept a response like this:

*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<user>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Ed Spencer</name>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
</user>
<user>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>Abe Elias</name>
    <email>[email protected]</email>
</user>
* *

The XML Reader uses the configured {@link #record} option to pull out the data for each record - in this case we * set record to 'user', so each <user> above will be converted into a User model.

* *

Reading other XML formats

* *

If you already have your XML format defined and it doesn't look quite like what we have above, you can usually * pass XmlReader a couple of configuration options to make it parse your format. For example, we can use the * {@link #root} configuration to parse data that comes back like this:

*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<users>
    <user>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>Ed Spencer</name>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
    </user>
    <user>
        <id>2</id>
        <name>Abe Elias</name>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
    </user>
</users>
* *

To parse this we just pass in a {@link #root} configuration that matches the 'users' above:

*

reader: {
    type  : 'xml',
    root  : 'users',
    record: 'user'
}
* *

Note that XmlReader doesn't care whether your {@link #root} and {@link #record} elements are nested deep inside * a larger structure, so a response like this will still work: *


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deeply>
    <nested>
        <xml>
            <users>
                <user>
                    <id>1</id>
                    <name>Ed Spencer</name>
                    <email>[email protected]</email>
                </user>
                <user>
                    <id>2</id>
                    <name>Abe Elias</name>
                    <email>[email protected]</email>
                </user>
            </users>
        </xml>
    </nested>
</deeply>
* *

Response metadata

* *

The server can return additional data in its response, such as the {@link #totalProperty total number of records} * and the {@link #successProperty success status of the response}. These are typically included in the XML response * like this:

*

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<total>100</total>
<success>true</success>
<users>
    <user>
        <id>1</id>
        <name>Ed Spencer</name>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
    </user>
    <user>
        <id>2</id>
        <name>Abe Elias</name>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
    </user>
</users>
* *

If these properties are present in the XML response they can be parsed out by the XmlReader and used by the * Store that loaded it. We can set up the names of these properties by specifying a final pair of configuration * options:

*

reader: {
    type: 'xml',
    root: 'users',
    totalProperty  : 'total',
    successProperty: 'success'
}
* *

These final options are not necessary to make the Reader work, but can be useful when the server needs to report * an error or if it needs to indicate that there is a lot of data available of which only a subset is currently being * returned.

* *

Response format

* *

Note: in order for the browser to parse a returned XML document, the Content-Type header in the HTTP * response must be set to "text/xml" or "application/xml". This is very important - the XmlReader will not * work correctly otherwise.
