VTD-XML Parsing Example
This example demonstrates the basics of non-extractive XML parsing: how to use VTD-XML to parse an XML file, navigates to a node, and prints out its value.
/*
<ns1:a xmlns:ns1="someURL">
<ns1:b> hello world! </ns1:b>
</ns1:a>
*/
import com.ximpleware.*;
public class hello_world{
public static void main(String[] args) throws ParseException,NavException{
VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
if (vg.parseFile("d:/java_tutorial_by_code_examples/1/input.xml",true)){
VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
//toElementNS is the namespace aware version of toElement which navigates the cursor
if (vn.toElementNS(VTDNav.FIRST_CHILD, "someURL", "b")){
int i= vn.getText(); // get the VTD record index
if (i!=-1){
// convert i into string before printing,
// toNormalizedString(i) and toRawString(i) are two other options
System.out.println("the text node value at "+i+" ==> "+vn.toString(i));
}
}
}
}
}
