/** * @class Ext.data.XmlReader * @extends Ext.data.DataReader *

Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects from an XML document * based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor.

*

Note: that 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".

*

Example code:

*

var Employee = Ext.data.Record.create([
   {name: 'name', mapping: 'name'},     // "mapping" property not needed if it is the same as "name"
   {name: 'occupation'}                 // This field will use "occupation" as the mapping.
]);
var myReader = new Ext.data.XmlReader({
   totalRecords: "results", // The element which contains the total dataset size (optional)
   record: "row",           // The repeated element which contains row information
   id: "id"                 // The element within the row that provides an ID for the record (optional)
}, Employee);
*

* This would consume an XML file like this: *


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataset>
 <results>2</results>
 <row>
   <id>1</id>
   <name>Bill</name>
   <occupation>Gardener</occupation>
 </row>
 <row>
   <id>2</id>
   <name>Ben</name>
   <occupation>Horticulturalist</occupation>
 </row>
</dataset>
* @cfg {String} totalRecords The DomQuery path from which to retrieve the total number of records * in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being * paged from the remote server. * @cfg {String} record The DomQuery path to the repeated element which contains record information. * @cfg {String} success The DomQuery path to the success attribute used by forms. * @cfg {String} idPath The DomQuery path relative from the record element to the element that contains * a record identifier value. * @constructor * Create a new XmlReader. * @param {Object} meta Metadata configuration options * @param {Object} recordType Either an Array of field definition objects as passed to * {@link Ext.data.Record#create}, or a Record constructor object created using {@link Ext.data.Record#create}. */ Ext.data.XmlReader = function(meta, recordType){ meta = meta || {}; Ext.data.XmlReader.superclass.constructor.call(this, meta, recordType || meta.fields); }; Ext.extend(Ext.data.XmlReader, Ext.data.DataReader, { /** * This method is only used by a DataProxy which has retrieved data from a remote server. * @param {Object} response The XHR object which contains the parsed XML document.
