Java and XML

What’s Next?

With this primer on creating XML documents, we are ready to begin writing our first Java code. In the next chapter, we will take a look at using the Simple API for XML (SAX). Starting with a simple program to parse through our XML document, we will learn how PIs, elements, attributes, and other XML constructs are handled within the XML parsing process. Along with each step, we will provide Java code to perform specific actions, beginning with a simple program to print out our XML document. This will start the extensive process of learning how to manipulate all of the various components of an XML document, and how to use this information within Java applications.
