Loading and reading XML files in cocos2d-x 3.0 javascript scripts

How should one proceed to load XML content from a javascript script in cocos2d-x 3.0?

I need to parse an XML file but DOMParser is unavailable:

var text="<note>";
text=text+"<content>whatever blablabla</content>";
text=text+"</note>";

var parser=new DOMParser();
var doc=parser.parseFromString(text,'text/xml');

results in ReferenceError: DOMParser is not defined.

How should I proceed to load and manipulate the XML?

Even this solution fails:

var doc = document.implementation.createDocument("");

ReferenceError: document is not defined.

From the V2.2.1 documentation I tried the SAXParser to no avail: 

cc.SAXParser.getInstance().parse(fullPath);

TypeError: cc.SAXParser is undefined

Solution

  • To paliate to the removal of cc.SAXParser in cocos2d-x 3.0 the solution is to use a pure javascript parser until a better solution is made available.
