I have XML in the form of a String that contains
<message>HELLO!</message>
How can I get the String "Hello!" from the XML? It should be ridiculously easy but I am lost. The XML isn't in a doc, it is simply a String.
Using JDOM:
String xml = "<message>HELLO!</message>";
org.jdom.input.SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
try {
org.jdom.Document doc = saxBuilder.build(new StringReader(xml));
String message = doc.getRootElement().getText();
System.out.println(message);
} catch (JDOMException e) {
// handle JDOMException
} catch (IOException e) {
// handle IOException
}
Using the Xerces DOMParser
:
String xml = "<message>HELLO!</message>";
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
try {
parser.parse(new InputSource(new java.io.StringReader(xml)));
Document doc = parser.getDocument();
String message = doc.getDocumentElement().getTextContent();
System.out.println(message);
} catch (SAXException e) {
// handle SAXException
} catch (IOException e) {
// handle IOException
}
Using the JAXP interfaces:
String xml = "<message>HELLO!</message>";
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = null;
try {
db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xml));
try {
Document doc = db.parse(is);
String message = doc.getDocumentElement().getTextContent();
System.out.println(message);
} catch (SAXException e) {
// handle SAXException
} catch (IOException e) {
// handle IOException
}
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e1) {
// handle ParserConfigurationException
}
