    copied!<p>I pulled this function from another stackoverflow question(link below). I want to be able to convert the XML that I have(included as a HTML comment) to a JSON format. I thought this snippet would work but it keeps giving this error:</p> <p>Uncaught TypeError: Object cat.xml has no method 'hasChildNodes' </p> <p>I still trying wrap my head around javascript so I can't figure this out. I am sorry if this has been answered but I searched and can't find an answer anywhere.Here is the original question</p> <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7769829/tool-javascript-to-convert-a-xml-string-to-json">Tool (javascript) to convert a XML string to JSON</a></p> <p>and here is a jsbin with what I am trying to do and with the error showing. Thank you.</p> <p><a href="http://jsbin.com/ujoPECU/1/edit" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://jsbin.com/ujoPECU/1/edit</a></p> <pre><code>var xmlToJson = function (xml) { 'use strict'; var obj = {}; if (xml.nodeType == 1) { if (xml.attributes.length &gt; 0) { obj["@attributes"] = {}; for (var j = 0; j &lt; xml.attributes.length; j++) { var attribute = xml.attributes.item(j); obj["@attributes"][attribute.nodeName] = attribute.nodeValue; } } } else if (xml.nodeType == 3) { obj = xml.nodeValue; } if (xml.hasChildNodes()) { for (var i = 0; i &lt; xml.childNodes.length; i++) { var item = xml.childNodes.item(i); var nodeName = item.nodeName; if (typeof (obj[nodeName]) == "undefined") { obj[nodeName] = xmlToJson(item); } else { if (typeof (obj[nodeName].push) == "undefined") { var old = obj[nodeName]; obj[nodeName] = []; obj[nodeName].push(old); } obj[nodeName].push(xmlToJson(item)); } } } return obj; }; var jsonText = JSON.stringify(xmlToJson("cat.xml")); // xmlDoc = xml dom document console.log(jsonText); </code></pre>
