Child Tag Elements of a Response Tag Element

The child tag elements of a response tag element represent the individual data items returned by the JUNOScript server for a particular request. The children can be either individual tag elements (empty tags or tag element triples) or container tag elements that enclose their own child tag elements. For some container tag elements, the JUNOScript server returns the children in alphabetical order. For other elements, the children appear in the order in which they were created in the configuration.

The set of child tag elements that can occur in a response or within a container tag element is subject to change in later releases of the JUNOS XML API. Client applications must not rely on the presence or absence of a particular tag element in the JUNOScript server’s output, nor on the ordering of child tag elements within a response tag element. For the most robust operation, include logic in the client application that handles the absence of expected tag elements or the presence of unexpected ones as gracefully as possible.
