Complete Program Listings Preface What is JAXP? As the name implies, the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) is an API designed to help you write programs for processing XML documents. JAXP is very important for many reasons, not the least of which is the fact that it is a critical part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP). This is the second lesson in a series designed to initially help you understand how to use JAXP, and to eventually help you understand how to use the Java WSDP.

What is XML? XML is an acronym for theeXtensible Markup Language. I will not attempt to teach XML in this series of tutorial lessons. Rather, I will assume that you already understand XML, and I will teach you how to use JAXP to write programs for creating and processing XML documents. I have published numerous tutorial lessons on XML at Gamelan.comand www.DickBaldwin.com. You may find it useful to refer to those lessons. In addition, I provided a review of the salient aspects of XML in the first lesson in this series. From time to time, I will also provide background information regarding XML in the lessons in this series. For example, I will provide background information on XSL and XSL Transformations (XSLT) later in this document under General Background Information on XSLT.

and Techniques for Parsing XML Introduction to the XML Parser for Java This section contains the following topics: Prerequisites Standards and Specifications DOM, SAX, and JAXP in the XML Parser Namespace Support in the XML https://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14252/adx_j_parser.htm Parser Validation in the XML Parser Compression in the XML Parser Prerequisites The Oracle XML parser reads an XML document and uses DOM or SAX APIs to provide programmatic access to its content and structure. You can use the parser in validating or nonvalidating mode. This chapter assumes that you are familiar with the following technologies: Document Object Model (DOM). DOM is an in-memory tree representation of the structure of an XML document. Simple API for error handling XML (SAX). SAX is a standard for event-based XML parsing. Java API for XML Processing (JAXP). JAXP is a standard interface for processing XML with Java applications. It supports the DOM and SAX standards. Document Type Definition (DTD). An XML DTD defines the legal structure of an XML document. XML Schema. Like a DTD, an XML schema defines the legal structure of an XML document. XML Namespaces. Namespaces are a mechanism for differentiating element and attribute error handling in names. If you require a general introduction to the preceding technologies, consult the XML resources listed in "Related Documents" of the preface. Standards and Specifications The DOM Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 specifications are W3C Recommendations. You can find links to the specifications for all three levels at the following URL: http://www.w3.org/DOM/DOMTR SAX is available in version 1.0, which is deprecated, and 2.0. It is not a W3C specification. You can find the documentation for SAX at the following URL: http://www.saxproject.org/ XML Namespaces are a W3C Recommendation. You can find the specification at the following URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names JAXP version 1.2 includes an XSLT framework plus some updates to the parsing API to support DOM Level 2 and SAX version 2.0 and an improved scheme to locate pluggable implementations. JAXP provides support for XML schema and an XSLT compiler. You can access the JAXP specification, which is produced by Sun Microsystems, at the following URL: http://java.sun.com/xml/downloads/jaxp.html See Also: Chapter 29, "XDK Standards" for an account of the standards supported by the XDK DOM, SAX, and JAXP in the XML Parser XMLParser is the abstract base class for the XML parser for Java. An instantiated parser invokes the parse() method to read an XML document. Figure 3-1 illustrates the basic parsing process.
