Processing XML with Java: A Guide to SAX, DOM, JDOM, JAXP, and TrAX

XML was designed to be "SGML for the Web." It was meant for the same sorts of narrative documents SGML and HTML...

Before we can explore the available APIs for processing XML documents with Java, we're going to need a few good examples. Throughout...

No one ever believes me when I tell them how easy it is to develop programs that write XML documents. In fact,...

Relatively little of the world's data is currently stored in XML. Much of it is stored in flat files as tab-delimited text,...

Writing XML documents is very straightforward, as I hope Chapters 3 and 4 proved. documents is not nearly as simple. Fortunately, you...

At its core, , the Simple API for XML, is based on just two interfaces: the XMLReader interface that represents the parser,...

The XML specification grants parsers a sometimes confusing amount of leeway in processing XML documents. Parsers are allowed to validate or not,...

In all of XML, I have found nothing quite so hard to understand yet easy to do as writing SAX filters. For...

The Document Object Model, DOM for short, is an abstract data structure that represents XML documents as trees made up of nodes....

DOM is a read-write API. DOM documents are created not only by parsing text files, but also by creating new documents in...

Chapters 9 and 10 considered a DOM document as primarily a tree of nodes—that is, as composed of instances of the Node...

The examples in Chapters 9 to 11 duplicated quite a bit of tree-walking code. Some of them searched for particular information. Others...

Traditionally, one area in which DOM has been quite weak is serialization, the outputting of an in-memory DOM Document object into a...

Tree-based APIs such as DOM are very useful when developers want to keep the entire document in memory at once with random...

JDOM documents are composed of ten basic classes representing the different kinds of nodes in an XML document: Document Element Attribute Text...

Much of the code in this book has involved navigating the tree structure of an XML document to find particular nodes. For...

Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations () is provably Turing complete. That is, given enough memory, an stylesheet can perform any calculation a program...
