XML reader to read sub elements

[AndrewKolas]

I need to read XML that I'm receiving through a proxy that contains sub elements.

Sample xml response:

<records>
  <record>
    <id>239</id>
    <name>Media X</name>
    <state milestone="EFP">
      <entryDate>2013-03-08T12:13:52Z</entryDate>
      <entrySize>10</entrySize>
    </state>
    <state milestone="LOAD">
      <entryDate>2013-03-08T12:16:51Z</entryDate>
      <entrySize>11</entrySize>
    </state>
  </record>
</records>

My proxy looks like this:

proxy: {
        type: 'rest',
        api: {
            read: 'Routing/DataService/pipeline/'
        },
        reader: {
            type: 'xml',
            root: 'records',
            record: 'record',
            model: 'AM.model.Record'
        }
    }

Finally, my model's fields are defined:

     
    fields: [


        { name: 'id', type: 'int', hidden: true, editable: false },        
        { name: 'mediaName', type: 'string' },
        {
            name: 'state', hidden: true, convert: function (value, record) {
                alert(value);
            }
        }
    ]

I'm not worried about having the states mapped to a particular model, though obviously that would be preferred, but at least they should be put into a javascript object. Preferably, based on my example XML,

state: [
    {
      milestone: "EFP",
      entryDate: ...,
      entrySize: ...,
    },
    {
      milestone: "LOAD",
      entryDate: ...,
      entrySize: ...,
    }
]

As it stands, Ext.data.reader.Xml.getNodeValue returns null.

Is there any deep reader I can use for this, or am I on my own?

You are using the convert method and not returning anything therefore the data value will be undefined. You can use the mapping config to map to a node. You can also use associations to have the states array be created as a hasMany association.
