I am trying to create a FF AddOn that brings some XML data from a website. But I can't find a way to parse my RESPONSE. First I used DOMParser but I get this error:
ReferenceError: DOMParser is not defined.
Someone suggested to use XMLHttpRequest, because the parsing is done automatically but then I get this other error:
Error: An exception occurred. Traceback (most recent call last):
File "resource://jid0-a23vmnhgidl8wlymvolsst4ca98-at-jetpack/api-utils/lib/cuddlefish.js", line 208, in require let module, manifest = this.manifest[base], requirer = this.modules[base]; TypeError: this.manifest is undefined
I really don't know what else to do. I must note that I am using the AddOn Builder to achieve this.
Below the code that doesn't seem to work.
Option 1:
exports.main = function() {
require("widget").Widget({
id: "widgetID1",
label: "My Mozilla Widget",
contentURL: "http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico",
onClick: function(event) {
var Request = require("request").Request;
var goblecontent = Request({
url: "http://www.myexperiment.org/search.xml?query=goble",
onComplete: function (response) {
var parser = new DOMParser();
var xml = parser.parseFromString(response.text, "application/xml");
var packs = xml.getElementsByTagName("packs");
console.log(packs);
}
});
goblecontent.get();
}
});
};
Option 2:
exports.main = function() {
require("widget").Widget({
id: "widgetID1",
label: "My Mozilla Widget",
contentURL: "http://www.mozilla.org/favicon.ico",
onClick: function(event) {
var request = new require("xhr").XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", "http://www.myexperiment.org/search.xml?query=goble", false);
request.send(null);
if (request.status === 200) {
console.log(request.responseText);
}
}
});
};
