| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| xmlString |
An XML document object string |
| caseSensitive |
|
The caseSensitive attribute value determines whether identifiers whose characters are of varying case, but are otherwise the same, refer to different components. For example:
caseSensitive = "no", the names mydoc.employee.name[1] and mydoc.employee.NAME[1] refer to the same element
caseSensitive = "yes", these names refer to two distinct elements
If the XML document is represented by a string variable, use the XmlParse tag directly on the variable. For example, if your application uses cfhttp action="get" to get the XML document, use the following code to create the XML document object:
<cfset myXMLDocument = XmlParse(cfhttp.fileContent)>
If the XML document is in a file, use the cffile tag to convert the file to a CFML variable, then use the XmlParse tag on the resulting variable. For example, if the XML document is in the file C:\temp\myxmldoc.xml, use the following code to convert the file to an XML document object:
<cffile action="read" file="C:\temp\myxmldoc.xml" variable="XMLFileText"> <cfset myXMLDocument=XmlParse(XMLFileText)>
Note: If the file is not encoded with the ASCII or Latin-1 character set, use the cffile tag charset attribute to specify the file's character set. For example, if the file is encoded in UTF, specify charset="UTF-8".
