如果你做Web开发，那就难免要与JavaScript打交道。而JavaScript作为一种浏览器脚本，以其强大的功能及方便的操作，已经赢得了全部浏览器的支持。在前面我介绍了如何使用Sql操作Xml和使用C#操作Xml，这里我就简单的介绍一下使用JavaScript来操作Xml数据。
学习任何知识的最佳途径莫过于实践。这里我们从一个简单的例子出发，来讲解如何使用JavaScript来操作Xml格式数据的。由于我的水平有限，不正确或者不合理的地方还请指正。
1、创建文档。
大家都知道，Xml是一种基于对象的语言，也就是说，在JavaScript中，很多东西也都是面向对象的。可以使用new关键字创建一个对象。当然，创建一个Xml文档也不例外。var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
2、添加节点。
其实，使用JavaScript操作Xml，和使用C#操作Xml有着几乎相同的方法。我们可以使用C#中一样的方法appendChild()方法来实现添加XML节点。说到这里你该问如何创建Xml节点了，其实还是跟C#相同的方法 var root = xmlDoc.createElement("root"); 将这个root节点添加到xmlDoc这个文档中就很简单了： xmlDoc.appendChild(root); 现在，xmlDoc中就有了一个根节点了。需要注意的是，一个Xml文档只能有一个根节点。其它的节点个数不限。
3、得到节点。
查询节点的方法就很多了。可以使用一个一个节点遍历，也可以使用selectSingleNode()方法或者selectNodes()方法。而得到一个文档根节点的方法则是通过属性documentElement来得到。那么得到xmlDoc的根节点就是 var rootNode = xmlDoc.documentElement;现在我们向root节点中添加一个book节点：var book = xmlDoc.createElement("book"); root.appendChild(bookNode); 那么得到book节点就是：var bookNode = root.selectSingleNode("book");或者var bookNode = root.selectNodes("book")[0]; 或者var bookNode = root.firstNode;你可以使用任何一种方法来得到自己想要的节点。
4、删除节点。
其实这个功能使用量是非常少的。你可以使用removeChild()方法来操作。这里不再详细说明。
5、未提到的内容。
对Xml的操作还远不止这些。还有对属性的增删改查的操作， 对节点值的操作。详细的说明请参照下面的这张表，这个表格来源与MSDN：
