Searching an Element in the given XML Document
In this you will learn to search an element in the
specified XML document using DOM APIs defined in the org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser
package. Your classpath must contain xercesImpl.jar and
xml-apis.jar files to run this program.
You can download it from Xerces
Description of program:
This program asks for a XML file name and
checks it existence. If the given file exists then it parses the file using the parse() method.
This method parses the XML document with the help of DOMParser. The
DOMParser is defined in the org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser.
It is very useful for to create the DOMParser object. This program asks for
a xml element name that have to be searched in the XML document. Use the getLength()
method for counting the occurrences of a given element in XML
document. If it counts to '0' that means element doesn't found and it
displays "Element doesn't exist in the Employee-Detail.xml Document."
Else it counts a given element
Here is the XML File: Employee-Detail.xml
<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<Employee-Detail>
<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-001 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Vinod </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> Vinod1@yahoo.com </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-002 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Amit </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> Amit2@yahoo.com </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>
<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-003 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Deepak </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> Deepak3@yahoo.com </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>
</Employee-Detail> |
Here is the Java File: SearchElement.java
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser;
import java.io.*;
public class SearchElement{
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter file name: ");
String str = bf.readLine();
File file = new File(str);
if (file.exists()){
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse(str);
Document doc = parser.getDocument();
System.out.print("Enter element that have to count: ");
String ele = bf.readLine();
NodeList list = doc.getElementsByTagName(ele);
if(list.getLength() == 0){
System.out.println("Element doesn't exist in the " + str + " Document.");
}
else{
System.out.println("Element occurrs " + list.getLength() + " times in the " + str);
}
}
else{
System.out.println("File not found!");
}
}
catch (Exception e){
e.getMessage();
}
}
}
