Strip XML Namespaces

 / Published in: ActionScript 3
 

URL: http://enva.to/e4ig6z

Loading XML, specifically from 3rd party sources can sometimes prove problematic when the XML makes use of namespaces. This snippet will take an XML object and strip all namespace declarations and prefixes. This snippet leaves the input XML unchanged and returns a new XML object.

Expand | Embed | Plain Text 
  1. function stripXMLNamespaces(xml:XML):XML
  2. {
  3.     var s:String = xml.toString();
  4.     var pattern1:RegExp = /\s*xmlns[^\'\"]*=[\'\"][^\'\"]*[\'\"]/gi;
  5.     s = s.replace(pattern1, "");
  6.     var pattern2:RegExp = /<[\/]{0,1}(\w+:).*?>/i;
  7.     while(pattern2.test(s)) {
  8.         s = s.replace(pattern2.exec(s)[1], "");
  9.     }
  10.     return XML(s);
  11. }
