Seedlist REST API
If you are using Dojo to call the API you probably will use xhrGet method, and you can handle the result as XML data (setting handleAs: "xml").
The question is how to retrieve the value of a field.
First of all, we need to get the values from each WCM document. This can be done by:
data.documentElement.children["<number>"].nodeName. If the nodeName is "atom:entry" then the children is a document item. Here is the sample data.documentElement.children["9"].nodeName
Once we already have the document information, we need to get the specific property from the content item, here is how
console.log("data.documentElement.children["<number>"].children["<number>"].nodeName. The value of nodeName should be "wplc:field". This will indicate that the object is a property of the document.
To know the name of the property you need to use the following statement
data.documentElement.children["<number>"].children["<number>"].attributes[0].nodeValue. The value of nodeValue is the name of the property
Lastly you need to get the real value of the property by
data.documentElement.children["<number>"].children["<number>"].textContent. The statement will result on the value of the specific property.
Sample (to get "Name" property of a specific content):
If the value of data.documentElement.children["9"].children["17"].nodeName == "wplc:field" then
if the value of data.documentElement.children["9"].children["17"].attributes[0].nodeValue == "Name" then
The value of "Name" is data.documentElement.children["9"].children["17"].textContent
If the statement above is not true then we need to loop through to another array element.
This is based on my test on WebSphere Portal 7.
