Java API
can be used working with the XML documents. It is very easy to work
with the XML documents if you know the classes that should be used and
the methods available for working with the XML documents.
_______________________________________________
There
are certain packages that should be used to work with the XML documents.
A typical import statement at the top of the program code would include
the following:
import
org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
To work
with the XML documents you need to have a document object into which
you can load the XML file or which can be used to create an XML file
using the Document Object Model. Let us consider an example of creating
an XML document using the DOM. First create the document object.
For this
you might be creating a DocumentBuilderFactory object and then a DocumentBuilder
object before you create a new document object. Once you create the
document object you can use that object's createElement() method to
create the elements and use the appendChild() method to append to the
element.
Once you
create the element you have to create a text node using the createTextNode()
method and then append it to the element needed.
