Using java
API for XML is very simple and straightforward. If you have already
worked using document objects in other programming or scripting languages
then this would be a breeze to you. A person having a basic knowledge
on object oriented programming would find it very easy to work with
this java API for XML.

Using the
DOM for working with an XML document is the easy way to work with. A
document object is created and the XML file you want to work with is
loaded in it. to create a document object you have to create a DocumentBuilderFactory
and then a DocumentBuilder before you create a Document object.
Proper
imports are to be done to work with this APIs. To navigate through the
nodes of the XML file, you can create a NodeList and load the elements
using the getElementByTagName() method. Then you can navigate through
the node list and display them. Lots of samples on using the java API
is available in the internet.
