Question

As a result I came up with the following met

Answer 1

1. Text value that is surrounded by XML tag are also considered as Node in DOM. That's why you have to get the text Node before getting the value. If you try to count the number of node in an , you will see that whenever there is a text, there is a node.

2. XOM has more intuitive interface but it doesn't have org.w3c.dom.* interface.

If you want to use the build-in parser, you should look at http://www.java-samples.com/showtutorial.php?tutorialid=152

The DOMParser you tried to use are propriety and it's not portable.
