XML Reader - why re-invent the wheel

Question

Does anyone want to post the code to a good XML Reader that they currently have in use?

Answer 1

Here is some very simple code that reads all of the nodes in an XML doc. I apologize to the writer of this code, I can't remember where I got it and what his/her name is. If someone recognizes it, please pipe up. Oh yeah, and I can't remember what needed to be referenced so I included a bunch of stuff.
anywho:
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class LoadXMLdoc {
  private Document document;
  public LoadXMLdoc() {
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    try {
      DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
      document = builder.parse( new File(yourDocumentPathAsStringHere) );
      Element root = document.getDocumentElement();
      String rootElement = (root.getTagName());
      root.normalize();
      System.out.println(rootElement);
      NodeList children = root.getChildNodes();
      System.out.println("It has "+ children.getLength() + " child nodes\n");
      for (int i=0;i<children.getLength();i++) {
        System.out.println(children.item(i).getNodeName());
      System.out.println("I'm done");
        } catch (SAXParseException spe) {
           // Error generated by the parser
           System.out.println("\n** Parsing error"
              + ", line " + spe.getLineNumber()
              + ", uri " + spe.getSystemId());
           System.out.println("   " + spe.getMessage() );
           // Use the contained exception, if any
           Exception  x = spe;
           if (spe.getException() != null)
               x = spe.getException();
           x.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SAXException sxe) {
           // Error generated during parsing)
           Exception  x = sxe;
           if (sxe.getException() != null)
               x = sxe.getException();
           x.printStackTrace();
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException pce) {
            // Parser with specified options can't be built
            pce.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
           // I/O error
           ioe.printStackTrace();
}Hope that helps you. It helped me.
Good Luck.
