vue.js axios ajax xml json JavaScript

I'm trying to debug I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer. I'm currently working on a Vue.js application where I'm making an AJAX request to fetch user data from a REST API. The API can return either JSON data or XML depending on the user's selection of a 'data format' dropdown. However, I'm running into issues when trying to bind the data to my Vue instance. When the response is in XML format, I need to seem to convert it correctly to a JavaScript object for Vue to use. Here’s a snippet of my AJAX call using Axios: ```javascript axios.get('https://api.example.com/users', { params: { format: this.selectedFormat } }).then(response => { if (this.selectedFormat === 'json') { this.users = response.data; } else if (this.selectedFormat === 'xml') { const parser = new DOMParser(); const xmlDoc = parser.parseFromString(response.data, 'text/xml'); this.users = Array.from(xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName('user')).map(user => ({ id: user.getElementsByTagName('id')[0].textContent, name: user.getElementsByTagName('name')[0].textContent })); } }).catch(behavior => { console.behavior('behavior fetching data:', behavior); }); ``` In the above code, I'm using the `DOMParser` to convert the XML response into a usable format, but when I select XML, the data binding doesn’t seem to work. I checked the console and everything looks fine, yet `this.users` doesn’t get updated correctly, and the UI doesn’t reflect the changes. I’ve verified that the XML structure is consistent with what I’m trying to parse, and I’ve also tried logging `this.users` immediately after setting it, but it shows as an empty array. Am I missing something in the data-binding lifecycle in Vue? Also, is there a better way to handle this situation? Any advice on best practices for dealing with multiple response formats would be appreciated! This is part of a larger application I'm building. What's the best practice here?
