我可以使用JavaScript在目录中的所有xml文件中搜索字符串吗？

Question

I have an aspx page that is using javascript/ jquery for a few functions. I have a directory with about 80 to 100 small XML files. I want to be able to search for the existence of a unique string (the string will only exist in one file and will be the text inside a node, not an attribute) . Then, once I get a match, I can get particular nodes I need from that file. I know how to get the info I need out of the XML file, but I need to get the file name of the match first. I found ways to do it in PHP here: click , but it has to be javascript for the existing project (or jquery, of course).

I suppose I could get all the file names of the dir, then loop each one them through a check, but seems like a lot. I was hoping some way to find a match first, then

function onMatch(){
    $.ajax({
        type: "GET",
        url: "test.xml", //the file with the match
        dataType: "xml",
        success: parceXML
    });
});

any help would be great. Thanks.

Answer 1

Why would you do this in JavaScript? If you plan on grabbing many documents using ajax and parse them on the client side, it's very inefficient/slow.

You should have Javascript call a server side script on your server which looks at the xml files, figures out which one is the one you want and send you do the node you want.
