XmlParse
XmlParse(XML_string [, case_sensitive])Converts an XML string to a ColdFusion XML document object. Setting
the optional case_sensitive parameter to
Yes causes ColdFusion to maintain the original
case of the XML document elements and attributes. The default value
for case_sensitive is
No. The following example retrieves an XML file
from the Macromedia web site and parses it into a ColdFusion XML
document object:
<cfhttp URL="http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/resources/macromedia_resources.xml"
method="Get">
<cfset DesDev = XmlParse(cfhttp.FileContent)>
<cfdump var="#devnet#">Note that XML encoded in character sets other than ASCII or Latin-1
must have the character set explicitly defined to ColdFusion. If you
are using the cffile tag to read an XML file, the
character set can be defined using the charset
parameter of the cffile tag. If the XML file is
retrieved via another method, it may be necessary to first change the
encoding.
