Tree Benefits
• Some data preparation tasks require early
access to data that is further along in the
document (e.g. we wish to extract titles to build a table of contents)
• New tree construction is easier (e.g. XSLT works from a tree to convert FpML to WML)

Event-Driven Benefits
• We do not need the memory required for trees
• Parsing can be done faster with no tree construction going on

Important SAX interfaces and classes (JDK1.4)
class InputSource -- A single input source for an XML entity
interface XMLReader -- defines parser behavior (implemented by Xerces’ SAXParser and others) Four core SAX2 handler interfaces:
•EntityResolver •DTDHandler •ContentHandler •ErrorHandler
Implemented byclass DefaultHandler
Internet Technologies 13
Processing XML with SAX
interface XMLReader -- defines parser behavior (implemented by Xerces’ SAXParser) XMLReader is the interface that an XML parser's SAX2 driver must implement. This interface allows an application to set and query features and properties in the parser, to register event handlers for document processing, and to initiate a document parse.
Internet Technologies 14
Processing XML with SAX
• We will look at the following interfaces and classes and then study an example
interface ContentHandler -- reports on document events interface ErrorHandler – reports on validity errors class DefaultHandler – implements both of the above plus two others
Internet Technologies 15
public interface ContentHandler
Receive notification of general document events.
This is the main interface that most SAX applications implement: if the application needs to be informed of basic parsing events, it implements this interface andregisters an instance with the SAX parser using the setContentHandler method.
The parser uses the instance to report basic document-related events like thestart and end of elements and character data.
Internet Technologies 16
void characters(…) Receive notification of character data.void endDocument(…) Receive notification of the end of a document.void endElement(…) Receive notification of the end of an element.void startDocument(…) Receive notification of the beginning of a document. void startElement(…) Receive notification of the beginning of an element.
Some methods from the ContentHandler Interface
Internet Technologies 17
public interface ErrorHandler
Basic interface for SAX error handlers.
If a SAX application needs to implement customized error handling, it must implement this interface and then register an instance with the SAX parser.The parser will then report all errors and warnings through this interface.
For XML processing errors, a SAX driver must use this interface instead ofthrowing an exception: it is up to the application to decide whether to throwan exception for different types of errors and warnings. Note, however,that there is no requirement that the parser continue to provide useful informationafter a call to fatalError.
Internet Technologies 18
public interface ErrorHandler
Some methods are:
void error(SAXParseException exception) Receive notification of a recoverable error.void fatalError(SAXParseException exception) Receive notification of a non-recoverable error.void warning(SAXParseException exception) Receive notification of a warning.
Internet Technologies 19
public class DefaultHandlerextends java.lang.Objectimplements EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, ErrorHandler
Default base class for handlers.
This class implements the default behavior for four SAX interfaces: EntityResolver, DTDHandler, ContentHandler, and ErrorHandler.

We don’t have to go through a servlet…Tomcat can send the
files
String serverString = "http://localhost:8080/sax/fpml/"; String fileName = argv[0];
InputSource is = new InputSource(serverString + fileName);
But the servlet illustrates that the XML data can be generated dynamically.
Internet Technologies 45
The InputSource Class
The SAX and DOM parsers need XML input. The “output”produced by these parsers amounts to a series of method calls(SAX) or an application programmer interface to the tree (DOM).
An InputSource object can be used to provide input to theparser.
InputSurce SAX or DOM
Tree
Eventsapplication
So, how do we build an InputSource object?
Internet Technologies 46
Some InputSource constructors:
InputSource(String pathToFileOrAURL); InputSource(InputStream byteStream); // bytes InputStream(Reader characterStream); // Characters
For example: String text = “<a>some xml</a>”; StringReader sr = new StringReader(text); InputSource is = new InputSource(sr); : myParser.parse(is);
Pass The InputSource Class to the Parser
Internet Technologies 47
But what about the DTD?
public interface EntityResolver
Basic interface for resolving entities.
If a SAX application needs to implement customized handling for external entities, it must implement this interface and registeran instance with the SAX parser using the parser'ssetEntityResolver method.
The parser will then allow the application to intercept any externalentities (including the external DTD subset and external parameterentities, if any) before including them.
Internet Technologies 48
EntityResolver
public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId) {
// Add this method to the client above. The systemId String // holds the path to the dtd as specified in the xml document. // We could now build an InputStream object from a different // systemID and return this new InputStream. Or simply return null // and let the parser resolve the external entity. System.out.println("Attempting to resolve" + "Public id :" + publicId + "System id :" + systemId); return null;
}

• The following examples were tested using Sun’s JAXP (JDK1.4)
Processing XML with DOM
Internet Technologies 50
XML DOM
• The World Wide Web Consortium’s Document Object Model
•Provides a common vocabulary to use in manipulating XML documents.
• May be used from C, Java, Perl, Python, or VB
• Things may be quite different “under the hood”.
• The interface to the document will be the same.

The Node Interface
• The Node interface is the primary datatype for the entire Document Object Model.
• It represents a single node in the document tree.
• While all objects implementing the Node interface expose methods for dealing with children, not all objects implementing the Node interface may have children.
• For example, Text nodes may not have children.
Internet Technologies 58
Properties
• All Nodes have properties.
• Not all properties are needed by all types of nodes.
• The attribute property is an important part of the Element node but is null for the Text nodes.
• We access the properties through methods…
Internet Technologies 59
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
String getNodeName() – depends on the Node type
if Element node return tag name
if Text node return #text
Internet Technologies 60
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
short getNodeType()
Might return a constant like ELEMENT_NODE or TEXT_NODE or …
Internet Technologies 61
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
String getNodeValue()
if the Node is an Element Node then return ‘null’
if the Node is a Text Node then return a String representing that text.
Internet Technologies 62
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
Node getParentNode()
returns a reference to the parent
Internet Technologies 63
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
public Node getFirstChild()
Returns the value of the firstChild property.
Internet Technologies 64
Some Methods of Node
Example Methods are:
public NodeList getChildNodes()
returns a NodeList object
NodeList is an interface and not a Node.
Internet Technologies 65
The NodeList Interface
•The NodeList interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented.
•The items in the NodeList are accessible via an integral index, starting from 0.
Internet Technologies 66
There are only two methods of the NodeList Interface
public Node item(int index)
Returns the item at index in the collection. If index is greater than or equal to the number of nodes in the list, this returns null.
Internet Technologies 67
There are only two methods of the NodeList Interface
public int getLength()
Returns the value of the length property.
Internet Technologies 68
The Element Interface
public interface Elementextends Node
• By far the vast majority of objects (apart from text) that authors encounter when traversing a document are Element nodes.
Inheritance
Nothing prevents us fromextending one interface inorder to create another.
• Those who implement Element just have more promises to keep.
Internet Technologies 69
The Element Interface
public interface Elementextends Node
• Some methods in the Element interface
String getAttribute(String name)
Retrieves an attribute value by name.
Internet Technologies 70
The Element Interface
public interface Elementextends Node
• Some methods in the Element interface
public String getTagName()
Returns the value of the tagName property.
Internet Technologies 71
The Element Interface
public interface Elementextends Node
• Some methods in the Element interface
public NodeList getElementsByTagName(String name)
Returns a NodeList of all descendant elements with a given tag name, in the order in which they would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the Element tree..
Internet Technologies 72
The CharacterData Interface
public interface CharacterDataextends Node
The CharacterData interface extends Node with a set of attributes and methods for accessing character data in the DOM. For clarity this set is defined here rather than on each object that usesthese attributes and methods. No DOM objects correspond directly to CharacterData, though Text and others do inherit the interface from it. All offsets in this interface start from 0.
Internet Technologies 73
The CharacterData Interface
public interface CharacterDataextends Node
An example method:
public String getData()
Returns the value of the the character data of the node that implements this interface. The Text interface extends CharacterData. public void setData(String data) is also available.
Internet Technologies 74
The Document Interface
public interface Documentextends Node
The Document interface represents the entire HTML or XML document. Conceptually, it is the root of the document tree, and provides the primary access to the document's data.
Internet Technologies 75
The Document Interface
public interface Documentextends Node
Some methods:
public Element getDocumentElement()
Returns the value of the documentElement property. This is a convenience attribute that allows direct access to the child node that is the root element of the document. For HTML documents, this is the element with the tagName "HTML".
Internet Technologies 76
The Document Interface
Some methods:
public NodeList getElementsByTagName(String tagname)
Returns a NodeList of all the Elements with a given tag name in the order in which the would be encountered in a preorder traversal of the Document tree. Parameters: tagname - The name of the tag to match on. The special value "*" matches all tags. Returns: A new NodeList object containing all the matched Elements.
