Extracting Data From Responses

Applies to LoadComplete 4.97, last modified on May 20, 2019

In LoadComplete, you can extract values from responses to validate the response content or to re-use the extracted data in further requests:

  • You use data selectors to extract data from bodies of HTML and text responses, WebSocket messages the server sends, response headers and cookies.

  • To extract data from Rich Internet Application (RIA) responses, such as JSON, XML or AML, store the needed values of specific response’s elements to variables.
