Summary of sample code for java parsing xml

[Introduction]

There are many technologies currently used to parse XML in Java. The mainstream ones include DOM, SAX, JDOM, and DOM4j. The following mainly introduces the use, advantages and disadvantages and performance testing of these four XML document parsing technologies.

1. [Basic Knowledge - Literacy]

sax and dom are two methods for parsing xml documents (no specific implementation , just interface), so they alone cannot parse xml documents; jaxp is just api, which further encapsulates the two interfaces of sax and dom, and provides DomcumentBuilderFactory/DomcumentBuilder and SAXParserFactory /SAXParser (default uses xerces interpreter).

2. [Simple introduction to using DOM, SAX, JDOM, and DOM4j]

1. [DOM(Document Object Model) 】
The interface provided by W3C, which reads the entire XML document Memory, build a DOM tree to operate each node (Node).
Sample code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<university name="pku">  
    <college name="c1">  
        <class name="class1">  
            <student name="stu1" sex=&#39;male&#39; age="21" />  
            <student name="stu2" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
            <student name="stu3" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
        </class>  
        <class name="class2">  
            <student name="stu4" sex=&#39;male&#39; age="19" />  
            <student name="stu5" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
            <student name="stu6" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="21" />  
        </class>  
    </college>  
    <college name="c2">  
        <class name="class3">  
            <student name="stu7" sex=&#39;male&#39; age="20" />  
        </class>  
    </college>  
    <college name="c3">  
    </college>  
</university>

text.xml is used in the following code (this document is placed in the src path, and is compiled in the classes path (below), all refer to the xml document.

As long as the code is slightly modified, it can become more concise. There is no need to write if all the time to determine whether there are child nodes.

2. [SAX (Simple API for XML)]
SAX does not need to load the entire document into memory, based on EventDriver's API (ObserverMode), users only need to register the events they are interested in. SAX provides EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, and ErrorHandler interfaces, which are used to monitor parsing entity events, DTD processing events, text processing events, and processing error events respectively, similar to AWT. SAX also provides a default class DefaultHandler for these four interfaces (the default implementation here is actually an empty method). Generally, you only need to inherit DefaultHandler and rewrite the events you are interested in.
Sample code:

package test.xml;  
  
import java.io.IOException;  
import java.io.InputStream;  
  
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;  
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;

import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;

3. [JDOM]
JDOM is very similar to DOM , it is a pure JAVA API that processes XML. The API uses the Collections class extensively, and JDOM only uses concrete classes instead of interfaces. JDOM itself does not contain a parser. It typically uses a SAX2 parser to parse and validate input XML documents (although it can also take previously constructed DOM representations as input). It contains converters to output JDOM representations to SAX2 event streams, DOM Models, or XML text documents
Sample code:

package test.xml;  
  
import java.io.File;  
import java.io.FileOutputStream;  
import java.io.IOException;  
import java.io.InputStream;  
import java.util.List;

dom4j is currently the best in xml parsing (Hibernate and Sun's JAXM also use dom4j to parse XML), it merges Includes many features beyond basic XML document representation, including integrated XPath support, XML Schema support, and event-based processing for large or streaming documents
Example code ：

package test.xml;  
  
import java.io.File;  
import java.io.FileWriter;  
import java.io.IOException;  
import java.io.InputStream;  
import java.util.List;  
  
import org.dom4j.Attribute;  
import org.dom4j.Document;  
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;  
import org.dom4j.DocumentHelper;  
import org.dom4j.Element;  
import org.dom4j.ProcessingInstruction;  
import org.dom4j.VisitorSupport;  
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;  
import org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter;

public class TestDom4j {  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        read1();  
        //read2();   
        //write();   
    }  
  
    public static void read1() {  
        try {  
            SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();  
            InputStream in = TestDom4j.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.xml");  
            Document doc = reader.read(in);  
            Element root = doc.getRootElement();  
            readNode(root, "");  
        } catch (DocumentException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }  
    }  
      
    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")  
    public static void readNode(Element root, String prefix) {  
        if (root == null) return;  
        // 获取属性   
        List<Attribute> attrs = root.attributes();  
        if (attrs != null && attrs.size() > 0) {  
            System.err.print(prefix);  
            for (Attribute attr : attrs) {  
                System.err.print(attr.getValue() + " ");  
            }  
            System.err.println();  
        }  
        // 获取他的子节点   
        List<Element> childNodes = root.elements();  
        prefix += "\t";  
        for (Element e : childNodes) {  
            readNode(e, prefix);  
        }  
    }  
      
    public static void read2() {  
        try {  
            SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();  
            InputStream in = TestDom4j.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.xml");  
            Document doc = reader.read(in);  
            doc.accept(new MyVistor());  
        } catch (DocumentException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }  
    }  
      
    public static void write() {  
        try {  
            // 创建一个xml文档   
            Document doc = DocumentHelper.createDocument();  
            Element university = doc.addElement("university");  
            university.addAttribute("name", "tsu");  
            // 注释   
            university.addComment("这个是根节点");  
            Element college = university.addElement("college");  
            college.addAttribute("name", "cccccc");  
            college.setText("text");  
              
            File file = new File("src/dom4j-modify.xml");  
            if (file.exists()) {  
                file.delete();  
            }  
            file.createNewFile();  
            XMLWriter out = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(file));  
            out.write(doc);  
            out.flush();  
            out.close();  
        } catch (IOException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }  
    }  
}  
  
class MyVistor extends VisitorSupport {  
    public void visit(Attribute node) {  
        System.out.println("Attibute: " + node.getName() + "="  
                + node.getValue());  
    }  
  
    public void visit(Element node) {  
        if (node.isTextOnly()) {  
            System.out.println("Element: " + node.getName() + "="  
                    + node.getText());  
        } else {  
            System.out.println(node.getName());  
        }  
    }  
  
    @Override  
    public void visit(ProcessingInstruction node) {  
        System.out.println("PI:" + node.getTarget() + " " + node.getText());  
    }  
}

三、【性能测试】

环境：AMD4400+ 2.0+GHz主频 JDK6.0
运行参数：-Xms400m -Xmx400m
xml文件大小：10.7M
结果：
DOM: >581297ms
SAX: 8829ms
JDOM: 581297ms
DOM4j: 5309ms
时间包括IO的，只是进行了简单的测试，仅供参考！！！！

四、【对比】

1、【DOM】
DOM是基于树的结构，通常需要加载整文档和构造DOM树，然后才能开始工作。
优点：
    a、由于整棵树在内存中，因此可以对xml文档随机访问
    b、可以对xml文档进行修改操作
    c、较sax，dom使用也更简单。
缺点：
    a、整个文档必须一次性解析完
    a、由于整个文档都需要载入内存，对于大文档成本高
2、【SAX】
SAX类似流媒体，它基于事件驱动的，因此无需将整个文档载入内存，使用者只需要监听自己感兴趣的事件即可。
优点：
    a、无需将整个xml文档载入内存，因此消耗内存少
    b、可以注册多个ContentHandler
缺点：
    a、不能随机的访问xml中的节点
    b、不能修改文档
3、【JDOM】
JDOM是纯Java的处理XML的API，其API中大量使用Collections类，
优点：
    a、DOM方式的优点
    b、具有SAX的Java规则
缺点
    a、DOM方式的缺点
4、【DOM4J】
这4中xml解析方式中，最优秀的一个，集易用和性能于一身。

五、【小插曲XPath】

XPath 是一门在 XML 文档中查找信息的语言， 可用来在 XML 文档中对元素和属性进行遍历。XPath 是 W3C XSLT 标准的主要元素，并且 XQuery 和 XPointer 同时被构建于 XPath 表达之上。因此，对 XPath 的理解是很多高级 XML 应用的基础。
XPath非常类似对数据库操作的SQL语言，或者说JQuery，它可以方便开发者抓起文档中需要的东西。（dom4j也支持xpath）
示例代码：

package test.xml;  
  
import java.io.IOException;  
import java.io.InputStream;  
  
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;  
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;  
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;  
import javax.xml.xpath.XPath;  
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathConstants;  
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpression;  
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathExpressionException;  
import javax.xml.xpath.XPathFactory;  
  
import org.w3c.dom.Document;  
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;  
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;  
  
public class TestXPath {  
  
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        read();  
    }  
      
    public static void read() {  
        try {  
            DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();  
            DocumentBuilder builder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();  
            InputStream in = TestXPath.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.xml");  
            Document doc = builder.parse(in);  
            XPathFactory factory = XPathFactory.newInstance();  
            XPath xpath = factory.newXPath();  
            // 选取所有class元素的name属性   
            // XPath语法介绍： http://w3school.com.cn/xpath/   
            XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("//class/@name");  
            NodeList nodes = (NodeList) expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);  
            for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {  
                System.out.println("name = " + nodes.item(i).getNodeValue());  
                    }  
        } catch (XPathExpressionException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (SAXException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (IOException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }  
    }  
      
}

六、【补充】

注意4种解析方法对TextNode（文本节点）的处理：

1、在使用DOM时，调用node.getChildNodes()获取该节点的子节点，文本节点也会被当作一个Node来返回，如：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<university name="pku">  
    <college name="c1">  
        <class name="class1">  
            <student name="stu1" sex=&#39;male&#39; age="21" />  
            <student name="stu2" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
            <student name="stu3" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
        </class>  
    </college>  
</university>

package test.xml;  
  
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;  
import java.io.IOException;  
import java.io.InputStream;  
import java.util.Arrays;  
  
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;  
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;  
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;  
  
import org.w3c.dom.Document;  
import org.w3c.dom.Element;  
import org.w3c.dom.Node;  
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;  
import org.xml.sax.SAXException;  
  
/** 
 * dom读写xml 
 * @author whwang 
 */  
public class TestDom2 {  
      
    public static void main(String[] args) {  
        read();  
    }  
      
    public static void read() {  
        DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();  
        try {  
            DocumentBuilder builder = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();  
            InputStream in = TestDom2.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("test.xml");  
            Document doc = builder.parse(in);  
            // root <university>   
            Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();  
            if (root == null) return;  
//          System.err.println(root.getAttribute("name"));   
            // all college node   
            NodeList collegeNodes = root.getChildNodes();  
            if (collegeNodes == null) return;  
            System.err.println("university子节点数：" + collegeNodes.getLength());  
            System.err.println("子节点如下：");  
            for(int i = 0; i < collegeNodes.getLength(); i++) {  
                Node college = collegeNodes.item(i);  
                if (college == null) continue;  
                if (college.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {  
                    System.err.println("\t元素节点：" + college.getNodeName());  
                } else if (college.getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE) {  
                    System.err.println("\t文本节点：" + Arrays.toString(college.getTextContent().getBytes()));  
                }  
            }  
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (FileNotFoundException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (SAXException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        } catch (IOException e) {  
            e.printStackTrace();  
        }  
          
    }  
}

输出的结果是：

university子节点数：3  
子节点如下：  
    文本节点：[10, 9]  
    元素节点：college  
    文本节点：[10]

其中\n的ASCII码为10，\t的ASCII码为9。结果让人大吃一惊，university的子节点数不是1，也不是2，而是3，这3个子节点都是谁呢？为了看得更清楚点，把xml文档改为：

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  
<university name="pku">11  
    <college name="c1">  
        <class name="class1">  
            <student name="stu1" sex=&#39;male&#39; age="21" />  
            <student name="stu2" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
            <student name="stu3" sex=&#39;female&#39; age="20" />  
        </class>  
    </college>22  
</university>

还是上面的程序，输出结果为：

university子节点数：3  
子节点如下：  
    文本节点：[49, 49, 10, 9]  
    元素节点：college  
    文本节点：[50, 50, 10]

其中数字1的ASCII码为49，数字2的ASCII码为50。

2、使用SAX来解析同DOM，当你重写它的public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length)方法时，你就能看到。

3、JDOM，调用node.getChildren()只返回子节点，不包括TextNode节点（不管该节点是否有Text信息）。如果要获取该节点的Text信息，可以调用node.getText()方法，该方法返回节点的Text信息，也包括\n\t等特殊字符。

4、DOM4j同JDOM
