Load an Email from a Chilkat XML String

Demonstrates the Chilkat Email.LoadXmlString method, which loads an email from a Chilkat XML representation held in a string, typically obtained from GetXml. On success, the loaded message replaces the entire current email. This example serializes one email to XML, then reconstructs it in a second object.

Background: This is the in-memory (string) counterpart to LoadXml, which reads from a file. Pairing GetXml with LoadXmlString lets you store an email's full state as text in a database column, cache, or message queue, then rebuild the Email object later — without touching the filesystem.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

//  Demonstrates the LoadXmlString method, which loads an email from a Chilkat XML string
//  (typically obtained from GetXml).  On success, the loaded message replaces the entire
//  current email.

//  Create an email and serialize it to Chilkat XML (as GetXml would produce).
var source = new CkEmail();
source.Subject = "Saved email";
source.From = "alice@example.com";
source.Body = "Hello!";
var xmlStr = source.GetXml();

//  Load a new email object from the XML string.
var email = new CkEmail();
success = email.LoadXmlString(xmlStr);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(email.LastErrorText);
    return true;
}

console.log("Loaded subject: " + email.Subject);
