parse data from xml response

Post by sirinech »

Hello I would like to know how to get the info from an xml file when the tag contains more than one attribute like in this case: I send request to get backupSessions I get xml file with a lot of ref tags , how to select one ref and its link tags based on the name attribute in the ref tag:

<Ref Href="http://172.19.11.128:9399/api/backupSes ... f018ed5c3d" Type="BackupJobSessionReference" UID="urn:veeam:BackupJobSession:6fe627e2-59ad-4602-bd0c-2af018ed5c3d" Name="Backup Job 1@2014-04-10 12:11:04">

Hello

Actually it depends on what you using are to parse data.
But typically you should choose node (first, last, all of them) and get attribute you need (Name, Href, UID, etc).

Sirine, you can also check examples with php in “(EM install dir)\samples" folder: there are 6 typical action like StartJob, AddVmToJob, etc, plus generated php classes from xsd.
