This usually + * happens as a result of loading a Store - for example we might create something like this:</p> + * +<pre><code> +Ext.define('User', { + extend: 'Ext.data.Model', + fields: ['id', 'name', 'email'] +}); + +var store = new Ext.data.Store({ + model: 'User', + proxy: { + type: 'ajax', + url : 'users.xml', + reader: { + type: 'xml', + record: 'user' + } + } +}); +</code></pre> + * + * <p>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.</p> + * + * <p>We created the simplest type of XML Reader possible by simply telling our {@link Ext.data.Store Store}'s + * {@link Ext.data.proxy.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: + * +<pre><code> +reader: { + type : 'xml', + model: 'User', + record: 'user' +} +</code></pre> + * + * <p>The reader we set up is ready to read data from our server - at the moment it will accept a response like this:</p> + * +<pre><code> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<user> + <id>1</id> + <name>Ed Spencer</name> + <email>ed@sencha.com</email> +</user> +<user> + <id>2</id> + <name>Abe Elias</name> + <email>abe@sencha.com</email> +</user> +</code></pre> + * + * <p>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.</p> + * + * <p><u>Reading other XML formats</u></p> + * + * <p>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:</p> + * +<pre><code> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<users> + <user> + <id>1</id> + <name>Ed Spencer</name> + <email>ed@sencha.com</email> + </user> + <user> + <id>2</id> + <name>Abe Elias</name> + <email>abe@sencha.com</email> + </user> +</users> +</code></pre> + * + * <p>To parse this we just pass in a {@link #root} configuration that matches the 'users' above:</p> + * +<pre><code> +reader: { + type : 'xml', + root : 'users', + record: 'user' +} +</code></pre> + * + * <p>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: + * +<pre><code> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<deeply> + <nested> + <xml> + <users> + <user> + <id>1</id> + <name>Ed Spencer</name> + <email>ed@sencha.com</email> + </user> + <user> + <id>2</id> + <name>Abe Elias</name> + <email>abe@sencha.com</email> + </user> + </users> + </xml> + </nested> +</deeply> +</code></pre> + * + * <p><u>Response metadata</u></p> + * + * <p>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:</p> + * +<pre><code> +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> +<total>100</total> +<success>true</success> +<users> + <user> + <id>1</id> + <name>Ed Spencer</name> + <email>ed@sencha.com</email> + </user> + <user> + <id>2</id> + <name>Abe Elias</name> + <email>abe@sencha.com</email> + </user> +</users> +</code></pre> + * + * <p>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:</p> + * +<pre><code> +reader: { + type: 'xml', + root: 'users', + totalProperty : 'total', + successProperty: 'success' +} +</code></pre> + * + * <p>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.</p> + * + * <p><u>Response format</u></p> + * + * <p><b>Note:</b> 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.</p> + */ +Ext.define('Ext.data.reader.Xml', { + extend: 'Ext.data.reader.Reader', + alternateClassName: 'Ext.data.XmlReader', + alias : 'reader.xml', + + /** + * @private + * Creates a function to return some particular key of data from a response.
