While using the XMLParser , it may lead to a null Type Error.

we can see this in the Odoo 17 Docs  : Developer -> How-to guides -> Customize a view type

Create a new view from scratch , 4.Create the arch parser 

using the XMLParser.


Instead of using the XMLParser , we can use parseXML to avoid the TypeError in OWL.


`import { parseXML } from "@web/core/utils/xml";


This is a correct approach ?

Hi,

Yes, using parseXML instead of XMLParser is a correct approach in OWL (Odoo Web Library) to avoid potential null type errors. Odoo 17 documentation suggests the use of parseXML for parsing XML safely, which helps in preventing issues that may arise from using XMLParser directly.

```import { parseXML } from "@web/core/utils/xml";


// Example function to parse XML

function createView(xmlString) {

    const xmlDoc = parseXML(xmlString);

    if (xmlDoc) {

        // Proceed with further processing of xmlDoc

    } else {

        console.error("Failed to parse XML");

    }

}


// Sample XML string

const xmlString = `<view>

    <field name="name"/>

    <field name="description"/>

</view>`;


// Call the function with the XML string

createView(xmlString);


```This approach ensures that the XML is parsed safely, handling potential errors gracefully, and maintaining compatibility with OWL's architecture. By using parseXML, you reduce the risk of encountering null type errors that might occur with XMLParser.


Hope it helps
