Receiving XML document from server and parsing it into strings

Good day fellow programmers,

I am trying to communicate with a rest API web service, get a xml document and then parse it’s values into strings.
Since I am new to this topic any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is what I built using the XMLHTTPREQUEST example:
import QtQuick 2.0

Code:

---

Rectangle  {
    width: 350; height: 400
 
    function showRequestInfo(text)  {
        log.text = log.text + "\n" + text
        console.log(text)
    }
 
    Text  { id: log; anchors.fill: parent; anchors.margins: 10 }
 
    Rectangle  {
        id: button
        anchors.horizontalCenter: parent.horizontalCenter; anchors.bottom: parent.bottom; anchors.margins: 10
        width: buttonText.width + 10; height: buttonText.height + 10
        border.width: mouseArea.pressed ? 2 : 1
        radius : 5; smooth: true
 
        Text  { id: buttonText; anchors.centerIn: parent; text: "Request" }
 
        MouseArea  {
            id: mouseArea
            anchors.fill: parent
            onClicked:  {
                log.text = ""
                console.log("\n")
 
                var doc = new XMLHttpRequest();
                doc.onreadystatechange = function()  {
                                    if (doc.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.HEADERS_RECEIVED)  {
 
 
                                    } else if (doc.readyState == XMLHttpRequest.DONE)  {
                                      var a = doc.responseXML.documentElement;
                                      for (var ii = 0; ii < a.childNodes.length; ++ii)  {
                                      showRequestInfo(a.childNodes[ii].nodeName);
                                                         }
                           }
                        }
 
 
                doc.open("POST", 'http://www.example.com/mydata.xml');
                doc.send();
            }
        }
    }
}

This code does successfully communicate with the server and retrieves information from it.
The problem is that it only names the node’s name but leaves the values out.

Example response:

Code:

---

is-admin
#text
signature
#text
restrictions
#text

---

How can I fix this and manage to save the information retrieved with the xml document into strings?

Thanks a LOT in advance!

What help exactly do you expect from us? Your problem seems solely related to JavaScript.

That Javascript only seems to handle the nodeName (and nodeType?) and makes no attempt to handle the nodeValue... but then I am not a JS aficionado and we cannot see showRequestInfo().

It's in the beginning of the first snippet but it doesn't do much apart appending its argument to a variable. And the argument happens to be the node name thus I'm not suprised that the tag content is not processed anywhere.

Dear wysota and ChrisW67,
Thanks a lot for your fast answers.

I posted this question in this forum since I wasn't sure whether I shouldn't e.g use QNetworkAccessManager or similar neat qt features.

Would you be so kind to help me fix that problem with showRequestInfo() ?
But besides that I am aware that this code can not handle any values since I don't know how to implement that yet,

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Plox

Have you tried accessing anything else of a.childNodes[ii]?
Maybe it has a.childNodes[ii].text?

Cheers,
