Quick Note: XmlAttributes

Mon, 12 May 2008 11:40:00-0400

I have to use xml fairly often. Mostly for connecting to different web services. I haven't dealt with to many web services that return attributes within the XML like this:



      73
      52
      6:17 AM
      8:08 PM
      
        30
        Partly Cloudy
        
          17
          N/A
          291
          WNW
        
        P Cloudy
        10
        39
      
      
        31
        Clear
        
          16
          N/A
          337
          NNW
        
        Clear
        10
        61

I seem to always forget how to access the attributes. The attributes in above example are d="0" t="Monday" dt = "May 12" as well as p="d" and p = "n". I have decided to blog about it so I remember next time. To access the above attributes use XmlAttributes. If the variable containing the above XML was called XMLVar then you would use the following code to access the attributes:


Day of Week: #XMLVar.day.XmlAttributes.t#
Date: #XMLVar.d.XmlAttributes.dt#

Nothing to it really.

I think it would be great if the Google App Engine supported CFML. If you feel the same show your support by visiting the link below and give it a star and a comment. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=73
