    <p>Ok so I have attempted to use multiple XML libraries that NodeJS have to offer and I can't seem to work out how to have an NodeJS read the XML file from a website. </p> <p>I can pull the file using http.request, http.get and all of that but then to have NodeJS be able to actually do anything with the data in the XML file is another story.</p> <p>I'm sure I must be missing something as when ever I turn the XML to JS with xml-stream; it can not use it from a website; my code runs when I host the file however I am using an api and they only use XML.</p> <p>Current code: </p> <pre><code> var http = require('http'); var XmlStream = require('xml-stream'); var options = { host: 'cloud.tfl.gov.uk', path: '/TrackerNet/LineStatus'}; var twitter = { host: 'api.twitter.com', path: '/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=nwhite89'} var request = http.get(options).on('response', function(response) { response.setEncoding('utf8'); var xml = new XmlStream(response); xml.on('updateElement: item', function(item) { item.title = item.title.match(/^[^:]+/)[0] + ' on ' + item.pubDate.replace(/ +[0-9]{4}/, ''); }); xml.on('text: item &gt; pubDate', function(element) { element.$text = element.$text; }); xml.on('data', function(data) { process.stdout.write(data); }); }); </code></pre> <p>What I don't understand is using Twitter works fine outputs at xml.on("data") part however using options (cloud.tfl.gov.uk) nothing outputs even if I put console.log("hi") inside the data function it dosn't get executed.</p> <p>I know that the url is correct outputting console.log(xml) or console.log(response) after creating the variable xml outputs that it has connected. Any help would be greatly appreciated with this I have been stuck on this for a good 2 days now. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
