Converting XMLDocument object to String in Javascript

Question

I want to convert XMLDocument object that I\'m getting as a response from an ajax request, to a string. I tried using

new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString         


        

Answer 1

You can do this by serializing just the root node:

new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(xmlObject.documentElement);
