Hello all,
I'm trying out the server-side javascript in ML 8.
My company stores all of its content in XML format. We access it using REST
from javascript UIs, so it's convenient to deliver search results as JSON. I
know I can do this with XQuery, but I'd like to see if it's even possible in
Javascript first.
First of all, please verify my assumption that there is no native way in
javascript to configure a custom transformation from xml to json. Since there
isn't, I'm using code like this:
var xqueryJson = require("/MarkLogic/json/json");
var config = xqueryJson.config("custom");
config.whitespace = "ignore";
... etc ...
This works, but there are some gotchas. For example, I can configure an array
element name like so:
config["array-element-names"] = "results"
and it works, XML elements named "results" are transformed into an array in
json. But it won't do more than one. For example:
// This has no effect. How to do multiple array elements?
var arrayNames = [];
arrayNames.push("results");
arrayNames.push("matches");
config["array-element-names"] = arrayNames;
Is it possible in javascript to configure more than one array element name?
