Extract CDATA text

[whmurray]

So this should be easy. I have searched for forums and can't seem to come up with what is probably the obvious....

I am build a JSON string and want to return it in an xml response, so it seems best to wrap the JSON in a CDATA element. No problem. I also have cases where I will need to process CDATA elements coming in.

So, given this XML:

<JSON>
     <JSONText>
          <![CDATA[some text here]]>
     </JSONText>
</JSON>

How do I get out just the "some text here" part.
I am currently doing:

var theJsonText = new XML(vmResponse.getMessage()).JSONText;

which gives me "<![CDATA[some text here]]>". How do I get the content of the CDATA???

I can get my desired result with the following:

var theJsonText = new XMLList(String(new XML(vmResponse.getMessage()).JSONText)).toString();

Seems like a lot of overhead. Is there something simpler???
