Fetching data from xml using backbone.js - backbone.js

I'm not able to fetch data from xml using backbone.js. No proper example is given on the sites I checked.

Take a look at BackboneJS with XML ajax
Basically, you need to overwrite the model/collection's parse method to build an object form the XML response.
In addition, you need to overwrite the requested data type, as it is json by default.

Passing xml to angular from web api controller

I have an api controller which generates response as xml and need to pass this xml to an external angularjs application and parse this to show result.
I have tried this so far.
/PaymentSuccess.html?response=<xml>....<xml>
I dont think this is the best way of doing because the uri seems lengthy and ugly.
Is there any better way so that i can pass the xml to the uri and read that from the angular application.

Is there any way of getting CRX content without using OSGI

Is there any way to get CRX content without using OSGI service?
Am looking for an use case to implement a top navigation for a website which is required to read page names and its properties via javascript framework like angular JS.
You could get it as JSON or XML, make a server call to path with extension XML or JSON. JSON allows you depth based selectors to go down the tree hierarchy not sure if its same with XML.
/my/page/path.xml or /my/page/path.<depth>.json, you can get the hostname and port details from the request URI to make the complete URL for the data call.
I would suggest you use the following JSON API's provided by sling to accomplish your task of getting page names and its properties.
Firstly to crawl all the pages under a given path, you need to use the .pages.json selector. For example to get all child pages of /content/company/en_US, perform a JSON GET on
HTTP GET <Host>/content/company/en_US.pages.json
Next for each path returned by the above GET call, you need to grab the _jcr_content.json of the page
(E.g.)
HTTP GET <Host>/content/company/en_US/home/_jcr_content.json
The above JSON call should provide you all the page properties of this particular page.
Please Note: The above method is generic and can be applied to any JCR Path hosted in Sling/AEM. Also typically you cannot get this level of JCR access in a publisher environment due to security rules that might prevent JCR crawling. Hope this helps

Retrieve remote data source as user types using angular-chosen

Is there any way to use this plugin to retrieve data from a remote source as a user types? I've seen the examples in jQuery but nothing for this Angular wrapper. The only alternative is to load a huge array of data upfront-- which isn't ideal.

How to use AngularJS with Struts 1.x

I'm new to AngularJS and client side stuff and I'm adding a new page to an old application that uses Struts 1.3 as its framework. I would like to use AngularJS for the front end.
I know how to return JSON from the action class by writing the JSON to the front end and returning null for the action forward. However, I'm unclear how I would populate the scope variables within the controller after the GET. If I use a GET in the controller and get JSON back, how does my ActionForm fit into all this? Is it useful at all? Can I have a GET and POST for the same controller if I want to send new values back to my action? And, can I have variables like:
$scope.items={}
$scope.items.name=""
$scope.items.email=""
And then just send json.stringify(items) as my data in the POST if I can't use the form somehow?
I haven't found much information using AngularJS with Struts 1.3 so far.
EDIT:
I'll try to answer as best as possible what conclusion I came to but my questions above were very vague since I didn't really know what I was talking about and my position with the company I worked for has ended so I no longer have access to that code. What I meant to ask earlier was what am I going to do with the action form that I usually use for Struts actions and how am I going to get data from the front end to my action class during a POST. I found out that my usual ActionfForm was useless for what I wanted to do so I got rid of it and wrote a JSON object during the GET that would be modified on the frontend and passed back to another action when I did the POST. This is done like a normal POST to whateverAction.do, but I had to configure the data I was sending in the POST and name it something. I then picked up the modified JSON object by using
request.getParameter("jsonObjName")
and parsed it to different LinkedHashMap objects for each object in the JSON object. I think you can use the JSONObject classes instead of LinkedHashMap to parse if you are using JavaEE but I was using SE so I didn't have access to those in this project. Here a link to another page I used for the POST configurations:
How to get the data in Struts from AngularJS post
On the Java side you can also try to use Gson library that allows you to parse string to and from JSON, but Struts 1 generally won't fit well with AngularJS, if you remove the form on Java side, than makes no sense to keep Struts 1.
And if no possibility to remove Struts 1, than just keep Struts 1 for existing functionality and start using Struts 2 for new screens where AngularJS is applied.
It will be much easier cause the JSON from AngularJS' POST will automatically be bound to the bean object that has to match to JSON properties format and name.

Please help me out .
How can I fetch the data from the response.
Parse the result, either using regular expressions or the DOMDocument class and traverse it. See Parsing HTML in Cakephp as well.
Or is there any other way to achieve the same
Use the APIs these companies usually offer.
