populating item list from the xml file

Hi, is it possible to do it via javascript is the main question. i know that this could be done via sdk(c#) and there is already an example guide of it on the forum, but i was wondering would it be possible to create a parser in javascript, that can be loaded maybe by the hotfolders option ?

Hi Arthuzad,
Assuming that the file is attached, then you could try to parse that XML using SQL, you can see an example here: https://blog.lumenn.pl/reading-xml-attachments/.
When talking about javascript, you could create a business rule that will get the content of the attachment through sql, and then pass that business rule into a form rule to parse it.

Both of those assume that XML is attached on the form.
