Study Notes
Server-Side Applications
- High-performance applications require deep understanding of XML processing.
- Minimal understanding may suffice for many applications.
DOM API
- DOM (Document Object Model) API offers a familiar tree structure for object manipulation.
- Provides an in-memory representation, making it ideal for interactive applications.
- Consumes more CPU and memory compared to SAX, as it constructs the entire XML structure in memory.
SAX API
- SAX (Simple API for XML) is preferred for server-side applications where in-memory representation is not necessary.
- Operates by reading through data sequentially, making it less resource-intensive.
- Involves callback methods defined by interfaces such as ContentHandler and ErrorHandler.
XSLT API
- XSLT (Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations) is defined in javax.xml.transform.
- Allows for writing XML data to files and converting XML to other formats.
- Can be used alongside SAX APIs for data conversion tasks.
StAX API
- StAX (Streaming API for XML) provides an event-driven, pull-parsing model for XML processing.
- Offers simpler programming and better memory management compared to DOM and SAX.
Node Types in W3C DOM
- Document: Represents the root node of the DOM tree.
- DocumentFragment: A lightweight object for holding portions of a document.
- DocumentType: Interface for defined entities in the document.
- ProcessingInstruction: Represents a processing instruction.
- EntityReference: Represents an entity reference.
- Element: Core part of an XML, can have various children nodes.
- Attr: Represents attributes of elements.
- Text: The textual content contained in elements or attributes.
- CDATASection: Holds text that won’t be parsed by any parser.
- Comment: Represents comments within the XML.
- Notation: Declared in the DTD, represents various declared notations.
JAXP (Java API for XML Processing)
- Designed for processing XML with Java applications.
- Enables application-level interaction with XML data.
Steps to Using JDOM Parser
- Import XML-related packages (e.g.,
org.jdom2). - Create a
SAXBuilder. - Generate a
Documentfrom a file or stream. - Extract the root element and examine its attributes and sub-elements.
Example of JDOM Modifications
- Add a new element (e.g., “age” under staff).
- Update attributes (e.g., staff id = 2).
- Modify existing element values (e.g., update salary to 7000).
- Delete elements (e.g., remove “firstname” under staff).
JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding)
- Facilitates easy binding between XML schemas and Java representation.
- Simplifies the incorporation of XML data and processing functions in Java applications.
