XML child node attribute value

Question

I\'m trying to read xml file, ex :

    
    5467sdad98787ad3149878sasda
    

        

Answer 1

As pointed out, doesn't have any child so instead of:

(contento.item(0)).getFirstChild().getAttributes()

You should treat the Node as Element and use getAttribute(String), something like this:

((Element)contento.item(0)).getAttribute("madeIn")

Here is a modified version of your code (it's not the most robust code I've written):

InputStream inputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(xml.getBytes());
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.parse(inputStream);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
System.out.println("Root element " + doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
NodeList nodeLst = doc.getElementsByTagName("entry");
System.out.println("Information of all entries");

for (int s = 0; s < nodeLst.getLength(); s++) {

    Node fstNode = nodeLst.item(s);

    if (fstNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

        Element fstElmnt = (Element) fstNode;

        NodeList title = fstElmnt.getElementsByTagName("title").item(0).getChildNodes();
        System.out.println("Title : " + (title.item(0)).getNodeValue());

        NodeList id = fstElmnt.getElementsByTagName("id").item(0).getChildNodes();
        System.out.println("Id: " + (id.item(0)).getNodeValue());

        Node tempiNode = fstElmnt.getElementsByTagName("tempi").item(0);
        System.out.println("Type : " + ((Element) tempiNode).getAttribute("type"));

        Node contento = tempiNode.getChildNodes().item(0);
        System.out.println("Made in : " + ((Element) contento).getAttribute("madeIn"));
    }
}

Running it on your XML snippet produces the following output:

Root element entry
Information of all entries
Title : FEED TITLE
Id: 5467sdad98787ad3149878sasda
Type : application/xml
Made in : USA

By the way, did you consider using something like Rome instead?
