Inserting data in XML using JavaScipt

Question

Hi,

I hava an xml file stored locally on my machine.

Structure of my xml doc - 

<root>

<item>

<name>item1</name>

<price>123</price>

</item>

<item>

<name>item2</name>

<price>145</price>

</item>

</root>

 My requirement is to update the same by adding new data to the file(add a new item)

I have tried using the following way. but nothing happens

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows.Storage.StorageFile.getFileFromPathAysnc("path").done(function(file){

Windows.Data.Xml.Dom.XmlDocument.loadFromFileAsync(file).done(function(xml){

//code to update the file and save it back again

});

});

* Request you to please give the code for the same

* Any other better way of doing this is also welcome.

* Only javascript codes please.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Hi,

From my experience, DOM provides APIs to manipulate XML. Below is a simple sample:

var xdoc = document.implementation.createDocument("", "Story", null);
var photoElement = xdoc.createElement("Photo");
photoElement.setAttribute("Name", photo.name);
photoElement.setAttribute("Order", photo.order);
