  • Xml Parsing with Dom4j
    University at Buffalo Hanifi Gunes Spring 2011 PhD Candidate Computer Science & Engineering CSE 586 - Distributed Systems hanifigu{at}buffalo{dot}edu xml parsing with dom4j In this tutorial we will talk about XML parsing with dom4j, an easy to use, open source library working with XML, XPath and XSLT on the Java platform. So let’s get started. ➀ Download and install eclipse for Java developers: http://www.eclipse.org Download the dom4j jar package: http://dom4j.sourceforge.net Download the jaxen jar package: http://jaxen.codehaus.org ➁ Run eclipse and locate your workspace directory if you are running it for the first time. Now, create a new Java Project, MyXMLReader, from File ➝ New ➝ Java Project. Notice that the project is created under the workspace directory {workspace_dir}/MyXMLReader. ➂ Right click on your project and select Build Path ➝ Add External Archives. Locate and add the dom4j jar archive from step 1 and repeat the same procedure to add the jaxen package to your build path. At that point, you should see these packages listed under Referenced Libraries as it is on the left snapshot. ➃ Now that, the project setup is done we can work with Yahoo! Weather. Visit http:// developer.yahoo.com/weather/ to get familiar with the XML response schema. First thing to observe is that you can query Yahoo Weather for a particular zip code using the following pattern http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=ZIPCODE. Try substituting your own zip code into the address pattern and then navigate to that address from your browser in order to inspect the XML response.

Centre-Ville Montréal, Québec Canada H3C 3J7 [email protected] http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lapalme/ForestInsteadOfTheTrees/ Publication date April 14, 2019 Abstract This tutorial gives a high-level overview of the main principles underlying some XML technologies: DTD, XML Schema, RELAX NG, Schematron, XPath, XSL stylesheets, Formatting Objects, DOM, SAX and StAX models of processing. They are presented from the point of view of the computer scientist, without the hype too often associated with them. We do not give a detailed description but we focus on the relations between the main ideas of XML and other computer language technologies. A single compact pretty-print example is used throughout the text to illustrate the processing of an XML structure with XML technologies or with Java programs. We also show how to create an XML document by programming in Java, in Ruby, in Python, in PHP, in E4X (Ecmascript for XML) and in Swift. The source code of the example XML ®les and the programs are available either at the companion web site of this document or by clicking on the ®le name within brackets at the start of the caption of each example.

As per my experience good interviewers hardly plan to ask any particular question during your interview, normally questions start with some basic concept of the subject and later they continue based on further discussion and what you answer − What XML stands for? XML stands for Extensible Markup Language. What are the advantages of using XML? Following are the advantages that XML provides − Technology agnostic - Being plain text, XML is technology independent. It can be used by any technology for data storage and transmission purpose. Human readable- XML uses simple text format. It is human readable and understandable. Extensible - in XML, custom tags can be created and used very easily. Allow Validation - Using XSD, DTD and XML structure can be validated easily. What are the disadvantages of using XML? Following are the disadvantages of XML usage − Redundant Syntax - Normally XML file contains lot of repeatitive terms. Verbose-Being a verbose language, XML file size increases the transmission and storage costs. What is XML Parsing? Parsing XML refers to going through XML document to access data or to modify data in one or other way. What is XML Parser? XML Parser provides way how to access or modify data present in an XML document. Java provides multiple options to parse XML document.

  • Designing of an Xpath Engine for P2P XML Store
    Designing of an XPath Engine for P2P XML Store Jovic, Darko; and Milutinovic, Veljko We can use XPath engine which works with Abstract— In the introductory part, this paper generic DOM and use it on top of P2P DOM defines the general environment for this research layer. This way we get full XPath functionality, but and defines the terms of interest. Then we define query execution is performed locally. All required the research problem: How to perform distributed node sets are pulled from the community and XPath query execution in a P2P environment. nodes matched against query to get the result. Existing solutions to the problem are briefly surveyed, and their drawbacks are underlined; Getting node sets from the community in case of each surveyed piece of research is analyzed large XML documents can cause increased according to the same template. Then, the essence communication among local peer and other of the proposed solution is presented: peers which contain node sets for specific implementation of an XPath engine which works in documents. High communication traffic can be a P2P environment and performs distributed avoided by distributing XPath query execution. query execution. The conclusion is from the point of view of performance/complexity ratio. 1. INTRODUCTION PATH is a language for addressing parts of X an XML document, designed to be used by both XSLT and XPointer [1][4]. XPath expressions are used to query XML data, express transformations and reference elements in remote documents. XPath is specification language designed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) [6].

  • Xpath 2.0 in Context
    P1: KTX WY030-01 WY030-Kay WY030-Kay-v3.cls July 7, 2004 15:52 XPath 2.0 in Context This chapter explains what kind of language XPath is, and some of the design thinking behind it. It explains how XPath relates to the other specifications in the growing XML family, and to describe what’s new in XPath 2.0 compared with XPath 1.0. The chapter starts with an introduction to the basic concepts behind the language, its data model and the different kinds of expression it supports. This is followed by a survey of new features, since I think it’s likely that many readers of this book will already have some familiarity with XPath 1.0. I also introduce a few software products that you can use to try out these new features. The central part of the chapter is concerned with the relationships between XPath and other languages and specifications: with XSLT, with XML itself and XML namespaces, with XPointer, with XQuery, and with XML Schema. It also takes a look at the way XPath interacts with Java and with the various document object models (DOM and its variations). The final section of the chapter tries to draw out the distinctive features of the language, the things that make XPath different. The aim is to understand what lies behind the peculiarities of the language, to get an appreciation for the reasons (sometimes good reasons and sometimes bad) why the language is the way it is. Hopefully, with this insight, you will be able to draw on the strengths of the language and learn to skirt round its weaker points.

  • A Performance Based Comparative Study of Different Apis Used for Reading and Writing XML Files
    A Performance Based Comparative Study of Different APIs Used for Reading and Writing XML Files A Thesis submitted to the Graduate School at the University of Cincinnati In Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE In the School of Electronics and Computing Systems of the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences By Neha Gujarathi Bachelor of Engineering (B. E.), 2009 University of Pune, India Committee Chair: Dr. Carla Purdy ABSTRACT Recently, XML (eXtensible Markup Language) files have become of great importance in business enterprises. Information in the XML files can be easily shared across the web. Thus, extracting data from XML documents and creating XML documents become important topics of discussion. There are many APIs (Application Program Interfaces) available which can perform these operations. For beginners in XML processing, selecting an API for a specific project is a difficult task. In this thesis we compare various APIs that are capable of extracting data and / or creating XML files. The comparison is done based on the performance time for different types of inputs which form different cases. The codes for all the different cases are implemented. Two different systems, one with Windows 7 OS and another with Mac OS are used to perform all the experiments. Using the results found we propose a suitable API for a given condition. In addition to the performance, programming ease for these APIs is taken into consideration as another aspect for comparison. To compare the programming ease, aspects such as number of lines of code, complexity of the code and complexity of understanding the coding for the particular API are considered.
