    Hi,
    you would use XmlSlurper to parse xml.

    Hi,
    you would use XmlSlurper to parse xml. like below:
    // xmlResponse
    def rootNode = new XmlSlurper().parseText(xmlResponse)
    def gpathClass = rootNode.getClass().getSuperclass()
    def namespace = gpathClass.getDeclaredField("namespaceTagHints")
    namespace.setAccessible(true)
    def namespaceDeclaration = namespace.get(rootNode)
    log.info namespaceDeclaration

    Hey aaronpliu Thanks for this!

     

    Can you please help me how i will go ahead and parse using XmlSlurper  when i have namespace in my response and if i dont have namsespace in response.?

     

    Because if i am using XmlSlurper  and printing the object of the same then its showing everything in a single form.

     

    Not able to see tag names of xml response.

     

    Sample response is like below in my case.

    TQA_AUTOMATION_20180724044736Req_201807240447362018-07-24T04:47:37.146 MDT2018-07-24T04:47:37.327 MDTtm1-yellow-rt104:yellow_fe:140001810OEAPI_USER_NAMEDIRECTAGREEMENT_TYPEDIRECTDEFAULT_OFFERCODE01DIRDISPLAY_LOGONBP__CNT_PHONEtool 

     

    I think i might need to convert it in to some xml format ?correct me if you any idea ?

     

    Thanks,

    Himanshu

      Hi shubhimu,

       

      if you would like to check prefix of namespace of certain node, then you may try:

      // xxxx is your node name
rootNode.xxxx.nodeIterator().each{node ->
    node.@attributeNamespace.each{name , ns ->
        def prefix = namespaceDeclaration.find{key,value -> value == ns}.key
        log.info prefix
        }
}

      Not sure what your requirement is for tag name?

       

      // xxxx is your node name
rootNode.children().each{
   // log.info it.xxxx.text()
}

      Can you please paste your xml content if applicable? maybe figure out a better way to resolve your problems.

       

       

      Thanks,

      Aaron
