I'm having issues in javascript with putting a var that contains xml string into a object and then send it via ajax with jQuery.

The question would be: is it possible to have a xml string into a json object ?

{"a":"a","b":"b", "xml":"<test r='r'></test>"}

Thanks in advance

    What's the use case? It's like asking about creating Frankenstein's monster... – Oded Feb 13 '12 at 16:54
  • Yes. What's the problem? – Brad Feb 13 '12 at 16:54
  • THe problem is that the web service isn't receiving the get request when sending a object like this, so I think it's a parse error – Eric Frick Feb 13 '12 at 16:55

    You need to HTML-encode strings, as shown here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1219860/javascript-jquery-html-encoding – John Pick Feb 13 '12 at 16:57
  • It's possible, in jQuery you can use $(data.xml) to create a Dom object and parse it. But are you really sure that you need it in that way? – Flops Feb 13 '12 at 16:58

Your XML will be like this:

&lt; test r=&quot;r&quot;&gt; &lt;&#x2F;test&gt;

Replace as follows:

& = &amp;

" = &quot;

' = &#39;

< = &lt;

> = &gt;

/ = &#x2F;

Yes, of course. Your code is working well:

var obj = {"a":"a","b":"b", "xml":"<test r='r'></test>"}
alert(obj.xml)
