Analizador XPath Java - Analizar documento XML

Pasos para usar XPath

A continuación se muestran los pasos que se utilizan al analizar un documento con XPath Parser.

  • Importe paquetes relacionados con XML.

  • Cree un DocumentBuilder.

  • Cree un documento a partir de un archivo o una secuencia.

  • Cree un objeto XPath y una expresión de ruta XPath.

  • Compile la expresión XPath usando XPath.compile() y obtener una lista de nodos evaluando la expresión compilada a través de XPath.evaluate().

  • Itere sobre la lista de nodos.

  • Examine los atributos.

  • Examine los subelementos.

Importar paquetes relacionados con XML

import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.xpath.*;
import java.io.*;

Crear un DocumentBuilder

DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

Crear un documento a partir de un archivo o una secuencia

StringBuilder xmlStringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
xmlStringBuilder.append("<?xml version = "1.0"?> <class> </class>");
ByteArrayInputStream input =  new ByteArrayInputStream(
   xmlStringBuilder.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
Document doc = builder.parse(input);

Construir XPath

XPath xPath =  XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();

Preparar la expresión Path y evaluarla

String expression = "/class/student";	        
NodeList nodeList = (NodeList) xPath.compile(expression).evaluate(
   doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);

Iterar sobre NodeList

for (int i = 0; i < nodeList.getLength(); i++) {
   Node nNode = nodeList.item(i);
   ...
}

Examinar atributos

//returns specific attribute
getAttribute("attributeName");

//returns a Map (table) of names/values
getAttributes();

Examinar subelementos

//returns a list of subelements of specified name
getElementsByTagName("subelementName");

//returns a list of all child nodes
getChildNodes();

Ejemplo de demostración

Aquí está el archivo de texto de entrada que necesitamos analizar:

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<class>
   <student rollno = "393">
      <firstname>dinkar</firstname>
      <lastname>kad</lastname>
      <nickname>dinkar</nickname>
      <marks>85</marks>
   </student>
   
   <student rollno = "493">
      <firstname>Vaneet</firstname>
      <lastname>Gupta</lastname>
      <nickname>vinni</nickname>
      <marks>95</marks>
   </student>
   
   <student rollno = "593">
      <firstname>jasvir</firstname>
      <lastname>singh</lastname>
      <nickname>jazz</nickname>
      <marks>90</marks>
   </student>
</class>

            }
         }
      } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (SAXException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

         e.printStackTrace();
      } catch (XPathExpressionException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();

   }
}

Esto produciría el siguiente resultado:

Current Element :student
Student roll no : 393
First Name : dinkar
Last Name : kad
Nick Name : dinkar
Marks : 85

Current Element :student
Student roll no : 493
First Name : Vaneet
Last Name : Gupta
Nick Name : vinni
Marks : 95

Current Element :student
Student roll no : 593
First Name : jasvir
Last Name : singh
Nick Name : jazz
Marks : 90
