i am parsing text in xml format to java. i search from internet, mostly example is create a xml file to keep the text then read from it. but i dun want to create a xml file to keep the text but parse directly to java. are there have any solution about it? thanks for your help.
below is the example of file i parse to java
<ID>001</ID><AREA>city</AREA><COUNTRY>US</COUNTRY>
Check the Javadoc for DocumentBuilder. There is a parse() methods that should do what you want.
yes, what u said is someting like this right?
String strFile = info.xml;
File ff = new File(strFile);
if (ff.exists()){
ff.delete();
}
FileOutputStream tempFile = new FileOutputStream( info.xml);
tempFile.write( strTrimMsg.getBytes());
tempFile.flush();
DocumentBuilderFactory docBF = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder Bldr = docBF.newDocumentBuilder();
Document Doc = Bldr.parse(new FileInputStream(info.xml) );
Element Root = Doc.getDocumentElement();
String strRoot = Root.getTagName();
if( strRoot.compareTo( "ID" ) ==0 ){
}
but code above wl build a doc in our directory right?besides of build another file in ourdiretory, are there hav another way to read the text in xml format?what i need is directly read the text i pass in where the text is in xml format without build another document to keep it and read from it. thanks
the text i pass in is
<ID>001</ID><AREA>city</AREA><COUNTRY>US</COUNTRY>
> yes, what u said is someting like this right?
No! I said look at the Javadoc for the DocumentBuilder.parse() methods!
P.S. There are other ways one can convert a String to an InputStream without writing it to a file first.

Since you did not post this in 'New To Java Programming' I assumed more knowledge than you had.
A ByteArrayInputStream is an InputStream. A ByteArrayInputStream can be constructed from a byte array (byte[]). A byte array can be constructed from your XML String using
byte[] XMLBytes = xmlString.getBytes(encoding);
You can choose any encoding you want as long as you create an XML header that mirrors this encoding. For example, "utf-8" for both.
InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlString.getBytes("utf-8"));
