parse_xml_attrs

Coming soon

Parses an XML string into a Liquid object, including element attributes. Works exactly like parse_xml but keeps attributes instead of stripping them.

{% assign data = xml_string | parse_xml_attrs %}
{% log data %}

Syntax

{{ xml_string | parse_xml_attrs }}

Parameter	Description
xml_string	A string containing valid XML data

Return Value

Returns a Liquid object representing the XML structure. Each attribute becomes a plain key on its element (e.g. node.currency). If an element has both attributes and text content, the text is available under the #text key.

Examples

Read attributes from an API response:

{% assign xml = '<rate currency="USD" code="STD">9.99</rate>' %}
{% assign data = xml | parse_xml_attrs %}
{% log data.rate.currency %}     {# USD #}
{% log data.rate.code %}         {# STD #}
{% log data.rate['#text'] %}     {# 9.99 #}

Iterate elements that carry attributes:

{% assign data = response.body | parse_xml_attrs %}
{% for line in data.order.line %}
  {% log line.sku | append: ": " | append: line['#text'] %}
{% endfor %}

Notes

• Attributes are exposed as plain keys, so they're dot-accessible like any element

• Text content of an element that also has attributes lives under #text

• If you don't need attributes, use parse_xml instead
