Support for <Array> & <Array type="string"> in XMLReader

See original GitHub issue

Hi there,

Working with the attached data, I’ve noticed that:

<Array> under <CellData> is not being processed (only <DataArray> is) I wonder why? It might also be a lack of knowledge of the format on my end, but it seems like both should be supported.
Even if <Array> was processed, the string type would not be supported.
Is that deliberate?

Again, it might be a hole in my knowledge regarding the format. Perhaps there is another mechanism to read <Array type="String"> that I am not aware of.

Do you have any hints / suggestions? Thanks for the help, Dan

I tried with the last version of vtk.js (13.4.2), precisely no, I don’t want to skip the string arrays

If I serialize a polydata incore from javascript, String arrays are parsed and I can access Field Data.

But if I try to use the xml parser for from an existing .vtp file, I get two problems:

string arrays inside CellData are not parsed : you already say that this feature is not implemented yet
all the FieldData are not parsed: I see that in XMLPolyDataReader class that effectively, FieldData are not included in the parser. Is it planed to parse the FieldData arrays ? Or maybe there is another way to do this ?

We sure want to support them. But only when we will need them that we will put the effort to integrate them. This could come from a customer request unless it get contributed by someone from the community. As of today, I don’t have anyone (except you) that requested it. 😉
