sax

Originating from this question, my research of R (and other) documentation indicates that SAX approach will be a faster way to parse XML data. Sadly I couldn't find much working examples for me to understand how to get there. Here's a dummy file with information that I want parsed. The real thing would have substantially more <ITEM> nodes and other nodes all around the tree that I would like to exclude. Another peculiarity is that the <META> section has two <DESC> elements, and I need any one of them (not both). <FILE> <HEADER> <FILEID>12347</FILEID> </HEADER> <META> <DESC> <TYPE>A</TYPE>

I am trying deserialize XML data into newly created Java content trees: I am using SAX, have the Java class under src\main\java\Summaries.java and am trying to simply print the document extracted: String xmlPath = "C:\\workspace-sts-2.8.0.RELEASE\\RESTClient\\src\\main\\resources\\dailySummary.xml"; String xmlPath2 = "/dailySummary.xml"; String xmlPath3 = "/src/main/resources/dailySummary.xml"; InputStream inputStream = null; InputSource inputSource = null; Unmarshaller unmarshaller = null; JAXBContext jc = null; try { // read from a file // or try xmlPath1 or try xmlPath3 inputStream =

My servlet's doPost() receives an HttpServletRequest whose ServletInputStream sends me a large chunk of uuencoded data wrapped in XML. E.g., there is an element: <filedata encoding="base64">largeChunkEncodedHere</filedata> I need to decode the chunk and write it to a file. I would like to get an InputStream from the chunk, decode it as a stream using MimeUtility, and use that stream to write the file---I would prefer not to read this large chunk into memory. The XML is flat; i.e., there is not much nesting. My first idea is to use a SAX parser but I don't know how to do the hand-off to a

I need to create a diff between two HTML documents in my app. I found a library called DaisyDiff that can do it. It has an API that looks like this: /** * Diffs two html files, outputting the result to the specified consumer. */ public static void diffHTML(InputSource oldSource, InputSource newSource, ContentHandler consumer, String prefix, Locale locale) throws SAXException, IOException I know absolutely nothing about SAX and I can't figure out what to pass as the third argument. After poking through https://code.google.com/p/daisydiff/source/browse/trunk/daisydiff/src/java/org/outerj/daisy

I am writing a Java application for the postprocessing of XML files. These xml files come from an RDF-Export of a Semantic Mediawiki, so they have rdf/xml syntax. My problem is the following: When I read the xml file, all the entities in the file get resolved to their value which is specified in the Doctype. For example in the Doctype I have <!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF[ <!ENTITY wiki 'http://example.org/smartgrid/index.php/Special:URIResolver/'> .. ]> and in the root element <rdf:RDF xmlns:wiki="&wiki;" .. > This means <swivt:Subject rdf:about="&wiki;Main_Page"> becomes <swivt:Subject rdf:about="http:/

I have some trouble understanding parsing XML structures with SAX. Let's say there is the following XML: <root> <element1>Value1</element1> <element2>Value2</element2> </root> and a String variable myString . Just going through with the methods startElement, endElement() and characters() is easy. But I don't understand how I can achieve the following: If the current element equals element1 store its value value1 in myString . As far as I understand there is nothing like: if (qName.equals("element1")) myString = qName.getValue(); Guess I'm just thinking too complicated :-) Robert With SAX you
