SAX stands
for Simple API for XML. With this you can handle the XML file any way
you want easily. To use this you should first download the SAX API and
install that library in your system.
_______________________________________________
A
typical import statement to use this library in your application might
include,
import
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory;
import org.xml.sax.XMLReader;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
import java.io.FileReader;
the steps
involved in using this sax in your java application that can be used
in command line is to create an XMLReader from the XMLReaderFactory.
The createXMLReader()
method of the XMLReaderFactory is used to create the XML Reader. Then
you have to create an MySAXApp object that is used as a content handler
and error handler of the XML reader object.
The next
step is to read the arguments passed to your application and read the
file needed using the FileReader object. Now use the parse() method
of the XMLReader to parse the FileReader object.
