Parsing the JUNOScriptServer’s Opening <junoscript> Tag

The server then emits its opening <junoscript> tag, which has the following form (the tag appears on multiple lines only for legibility):



<junoscript xmlns="namespace-URL" xmlns:junos="namespace-URL" \
    schemaLocation="namespace-URL" os="JUNOS" \

    release="release-code" hostname="hostname" version="version">

The attributes are as follows:

hostname—The name of the routing platform on which the JUNOScript server is running.
os—The operating system of the routing platform on which the JUNOScript server is running. The value is always JUNOS.
release—The identifier for the version of the JUNOS software from which the JUNOScript server is derived and that it is designed to understand. It is presumably in use on the routing platform where the JUNOScript server is running. The value of the release attribute uses the standard notation for Juniper Networks software version numbers. For example, the value 9.4R1 represents the initial version of JUNOS Release 9.4.
schemaLocation—The XML namespace for the XML Schema-language representation of the JUNOS configuration hierarchy.
version—The version of the JUNOScript API that the JUNOScript server is using.
xmlns—The XML namespace for the tag elements enclosed by the <junoscript> tag element that do not have a prefix on their names (that is, the default namespace for JUNOS XML tag elements). The value is a URL of the form http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/version/xnm, where version is a string such as 1.1.
xmlns:junos—The XML namespace for the tag elements enclosed by the <junoscript> tag element that have the junos: prefix on their names. The value is a URL of the form http://xml.juniper.net/junos/release-code/junos, where release-code is the standard string that represents a release of the JUNOS software. For example, the value 9.4R1 represents the initial version of JUNOS Release 9.4.

In the following example of a JUNOScript server’s opening <junoscript> tag, the version attribute indicates that the server is using JUNOScript version 1.0, and the hostname attribute indicates that the routing platform’s name is big-router. The os and release attributes indicate that the routing platform is running the initial version of JUNOS Release 9.4. The xmlns and xmlns:xnm attributes indicate that the default namespace for JUNOS XML tag elements and the namespace for tag elements that have the xnm: prefix is http://xml.juniper.net/xnm/1.1/xnm. The xmlns:junos attribute indicates that the namespace for tag elements that have the junos: prefix is http://xml.juniper.net/junos/9.4R1/junos. The tag appears on multiple lines only for legibility.
