DOM Parsing in Java

DOM parsing is the basis for XSLT/XQuery processing. It’s very convenient to use DOM APIs to access and update XML documents.

Basic DOM Parsing

Let’s get started with a simple DOM parsing example using Oracle XDK Java (DOMSimple.java):

Listing 4-1 DOM Parsing in Oracle XDK

package xmlbook.chp04;

import java.io.File;

import java.io.FileInputStream;

import oracle.xml.parser.v2.DOMParser;

import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLDocument;

import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLElement;

import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLNode;

import oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParser;

public class DOMSimple {

     public static void main(String[] argv) {

          DOMParser dp = new DOMParser();

          dp.setAttribute(XMLParser.STANDALONE, Boolean.TRUE);

          dp.setPreserveWhitespace(false); ...
