XML read with X++ (Not working)

Posted on by AX QA 115

Hi Folks,

I have following XML and looking for a way to read data for each node element under instructorApiModel

<ArrayOfInstructorApiModel xmlns:i="www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="schemas.datacontract.org/.../07">
<InstructorApiModel>
<Address>TestAddress</Address>
<AxId></AxId>
<Email>tester@email.com</Email>
<FirstName>TestFirstName</FirstName>
<LastName>TestLastName</LastName>
<MiddleName>TestMiddleName</MiddleName>
<PhoneNumber>1234567890</PhoneNumber>
</InstructorApiModel>
<InstructorApiModel>
<Address>Ukraine</Address>
<AxId></AxId>
<Email>test@gmail.com</Email>
<FirstName>Rob</FirstName>
<LastName>yan</LastName>
<MiddleName i:nil="true" />
<PhoneNumber>1234567891</PhoneNumber>
</InstructorApiModel>
</ArrayOfInstructorApiModel>

I have following code in X++ but its not working - can anyone please suggest me what I am missing?

// Create the XML Document
doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.loadXml(_xmlMsg);

data = doc.selectNodes("//ArrayOfInstructorApiModel");

xmlNodeListIterator = new xmlNodeListIterator(data);
while(xmlNodeListIterator.moreValues())
{
node = xmlNodeListIterator.value();

if(node.selectSingleNode('FirstName'))
templateId = node.selectSingleNode('FirstName').text();
info(strFmt("First Name: %1", templateId));

if(node.selectSingleNode('LastName'))
templateName = node.selectSingleNode('LastName').text();
info(strFmt("First Name: %1", templateName));

xmlNodeListIterator.nextValue();
}

    I see several problems there. First of all, your code doesn't select anything - that's something you should have tested and found before even start writing the while loop. The problem is that you don't work correctly with namespaces. To keep it simple, my code below work around this problem by using a different way to query XML.

    Your code wouldn't work anyway, because you would select ArrayOfInstructorApiModel, while your code inside the loop expects that the list contains InstructorApiModel. And you have a few smaller issues there.

    I suggest you use this:

    XmlDocument         doc = new XmlDocument();
XmlNodeList         apiModelList;
XmlNodeListIterator iterator;
XmlElement          apiModel;
XmlElement          firstName;
XmlElement          lastName;

doc.loadXml(_xmlMsg);

apiModelList = doc.getElementsByTagName('InstructorApiModel');
iterator= new XmlNodeListIterator(apiModelList);

while (iterator.moreValues())
{
    apiModel = iterator.value();
        
    firstName = apiModel.getNamedElement('FirstName');
    if (firstName)
    {
        info(strFmt("First Name: %1", firstName.text()));
    }
        
    lastName = apiModel.getNamedElement('LastName');
    if (lastName)
    {
        info(strFmt("Last Name: %1", lastName.text()));
    }

    iterator.nextValue();
}
