How parse the xml if we are having more than one elements

Hi,

 

I am trying to integrate the mail chimp with salesforce. For this i have wrote the http callouts. I am getting the result in xml. But the xml result having more than one elements. How can i parse this and how can i display all fields in vf page.

 

I have wrote the program like this.

public class mailchimp1
{
public string body1{set;get;}
String from_name;
String from_email;
public void detail()
{
Http h = new Http();
HttpRequest req = new HttpRequest();
final string username = 'xxxxxx';
final string password = 'xxxxx';
Blob headerValue = Blob.valueOf(username + ':' + password);
String authorizationHeader = 'BASIC ' +EncodingUtil.base64Encode(headerValue);
req.setHeader('Authorization',authorizationHeader);
//req.setHeader('Content-length', '1753' );
req.setHeader('Host','http://us5.api.mailchimp.com/1.3/ ');
req.setHeader('Connection','keep-alive');
req.setHeader('Content-Type', 'application/xml;charset=UTF-8');
req.setMethod('GET');
//req.setbody('http://api.createsend.com/api/v3/clients.xml');
//req.setEndpoint('http://us5.api.mailchimp.com/1.3/ ');
req.setEndpoint('http://us5.api.mailchimp.com/1.3/?output=xml&method=campaigns&apikey=eb7d2ec8ba15120cc1115c44d32a35cd-us5&campaign_id=89405&list_id=90cdce872a&start=0&limit=1000');
HttpResponse res = h.send(req);
system.debug('********'+res.getbody());
body1=res.getbody();
Dom.Document doc = res.getBodyDocument();
//Retrieve the root element for this document.
Dom.XMLNode address = doc.getRootElement();
from_name= address.getChildElement('from_name',from_name).getText();
from_email = address.getChildElement('from_email',from_email).getText();
 // print out specific elements
    
        System.debug('Name== ' + from_name);
        System.debug('email=== ' + from_email);
        
        // Alternatively, loop through the child elements.
    
        // This prints out all the elements of the address
    
        for(Dom.XMLNode child : address.getChildElements()) {
           System.debug('c==='+child.getText());
        }
}
}

 

I am getting the result as

Hi Lakshmi,

 

In Salesforce you have to use XmlStreamReader class to read a XML. but if you use this, you may face error like 'Too many script statements' if your XML is too large as you have to iterate your whole XML in for loop.

 

Use the "Fast Xml Dom" to read your XML. Below is the link to get "Fast XML DOM"

Here is the link on how to use the Fast Xml Dom

Please let me know if you have any questions

 

Thanks,

Priyanka

Hi Lakshmi,

 

Use the below code to get all the data

 

 

responseBody = res.getbody();
TG_XmlDom dom = new TG_XmlDom(responseBody);
List<TG_XmlNode> structele = dom.root.getElementsByTagName('struct');
if(!structele.isempty())
{
Integer structelesize = structele.size();
 for(integer i=0;i<structelesize;i++)
{
wrap w = new wrap();
w.mid1 = structele[i].getAttribute('id');
wlist.add(w);
}
}

 

This is just a sample to retrive ids list.. Please add all the attributes like web_id,list_id etc. to ur code.. please try and let me know if this works or not.. 

 

Thanks,
Priyanka

Have you downloaded and installed the "Fast Xml Dom"?

 

I have provided the link yesterday.. http://developer.force.com/projectpage?id=a06300000062Z2kAAE
