API - XML program

[Luca]

Hi

I need to test some XML commands and their responses on an srx650. Is there a program available that will let me execute XML commands via an API?

[Mattia]

Hi Luca, you can install the Junoscript perl client on a unix server; the documentation reference is here: http://www.juniper.net/support/products/junoscript/
If you want to see the XML version of the output of operational and configuration commands, use the "| display xml" command.
Hope it helps,
Mattia

Adding to Mattia's comment...you (Luca) may take a look at this Junos XML overview page

thanks,

I am currently working on a .net application for NETCONF for us windows folks

Any particular feature your looking for?

The easiest way to experiment with the XML API is by using the CLI.

To find the RPC for any command use the "| display xml rpc" pipe and to see the resulting XML output, use the " | display xml" pipe:

phil@test> show ospf neighbor 10.5.10.2 detail

Then you can make a script to perform the RPC as needed for testing:

version 1.0;

ns jcs = "http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0";

import "../import/junos.xsl";

match / {
    <op-script-results> {
        var $rpc = <get-ospf-neighbor-information> {
            <detail>;
            <neighbor> "10.5.10.2";
        }
        var $res = jcs:invoke($rpc);
        <output> $res/ospf-neighbor/neighbor-address _ " is in state "
            _ $res/ospf-neighbor/ospf-neighbor-state;
    }
}
