Reading a resource XML file in Javascript

Issue

There are many examples on how to parse and read XML files, but so far, I've not found one with the Android resource format XML file:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <resources>
        <string name="form_submit">Submit</string>
        <string name="form_abort">Cancel</string>
        <string name="form_reset">Clear</string>
    </resources>

1. How do I read such an XML file into a Javascript variable?
2. How do I read the values (Submit, Cancel, Clear) using their corresponding keys, (form_submit, form_abort, form_reset)?

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Solution

You could use DOMParser() and querySelectorAll()

var submit,abort,reset;
var text = '<resources><string name="form_submit">Submit</string><string name="form_abort">Cancel</string><string name="form_reset">Clear</string></resources>';

parser = new DOMParser();
xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(text,"text/xml");

submit = xmlDoc.querySelectorAll("string[name='form_submit']")[0].innerHTML;
abort = xmlDoc.querySelectorAll("string[name='form_abort']")[0].innerHTML;
reset = xmlDoc.querySelectorAll("string[name='form_reset']")[0].innerHTML;
