Getting JavaScript error in a JSON operation

Question

My code sample

I checked so many websites and followed their examples, and they all just do the same:

let chr = new XMLHttpRequest();

For some reason I get the above error!

Please paste the code / error messages directly instead of supplying an image. Perhaps this post will help. — meowgoesthedog

I guess the examples you read are targeted for browsers and you execute the code in nodejs. — Roland Starke

It's XML, not CML let chr = new XMLHttpRequest() Please check that you wrote the write method name there. — Sami Ahmed Siddiqui

please take the time to format your post correctly. How are we going to copy/paste code into our own IDE from a picture? — Dennis Lukas

Yeah that's my bad, first time actually asking a question myself on this site! — Anderzen

Node.js does not come natively with XHR like browsers. Perhaps you should try using the built in http.request.

There is also a node module called xmlhttprequest that you can use which will make your code work without changing much of it.

Welcome to the forum..!

You are getting an error as you are trying to run XMLHttpRequest as an browser style. To run this in nodejs, you need the following package: https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmlhttprequest

Here is the usage that how you can include it in NodeJS. https://www.npmjs.com/package/xmlhttprequest#usage

I just installed the npm xlmhttprequest, but it did not seem to help, so I did this instead: var XMLHttpRequest = require("xmlhttprequest").XMLHttpRequest; var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); which seemed to work, thanks for the help mate !
