XMLHttpRequest.responseType

XMLHttpRequest.responseType 属性是一个枚举类型的属性，返回响应数据的类型。它允许我们手动的设置返回数据的类型。如果我们将它设置为一个空字符串，它将使用默认的"text"类型。

在工作环境(Work Environment)中将responseType的值设置为"document"通常会被忽略. 当将responseType设置为一个特定的类型时，你需要确保服务器所返回的类型和你所设置的返回值类型是兼容的。那么如果两者类型不兼容呢?恭喜你，你会发现服务器返回的数据变成了null，即使服务器返回了数据。还有一个要注意的是，给一个同步请求设置responseType会抛出一个InvalidAccessError 的异常。

responseType支持以下几种值：

""

responseType 为空字符串时，采用默认类型 DOMString，与设置为 text 相同。

arraybuffer

response 是一个包含二进制数据的 JavaScript ArrayBuffer。

blob

response 是一个包含二进制数据的 Blob 对象 。

document

response 是一个 HTML Document 或 XML XMLDocument，这取决于接收到的数据的 MIME 类型。请参阅 XMLHttpRequest 中的 HTML 以了解使用 XHR 获取 HTML 内容的更多信息。

json

response 是一个 JavaScript 对象。这个对象是通过将接收到的数据类型视为 JSON 解析得到的。

text

response 是一个以 DOMString 对象表示的文本。

ms-stream 

response 是下载流的一部分；此响应类型仅允许下载请求，并且仅受 Internet Explorer 支持。
