Java生成和解析XML格式文件和字符串的实例代码

1、基础知识：
Java解析XML一般有四种方法：DOM、SAX、JDOM、DOM4J。

2、使用介绍
1)、DOM
(1)简介

由W3C(org.w3c.dom)提供的接口，它将整个XML文档读入内存，构建一个DOM树来对各个节点(Node)进行操作。优点就是整个文档都一直在内存中，我们可以随时访问任何节点，并且对树的遍历也是比较熟悉的操作；缺点则是耗内存，并且必须等到所有的文档都读入内存才能进行处理。

(2)示例代码：

代码如下:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<root>
    <TelePhone>
        <type name="nokia">
            <price>599</price>
            <operator>CMCC</operator>
        </type>
        <type name="xiaomi">
            <price>699</price>
            <operator>ChinaNet</operator>
        </type>
    </TelePhone>
</root>

代码如下:

    }
}

(3)元素(Element)和结点(Node)的区别（org.w3c.dom）
Node对象是整个文档对象模型的主要数据类型，是DOM中最基本的对象，代表了文档树中的抽象节点。但在实际使用中很少会直接使用Node对象，而是使用Node对象的子对象Element,Attr,Text等。
Element对象表示HTML或XML文档中的一个元素，是Node类最主要的子对象，在元素中可以包含属性，因而Element中有存取其属性的方法。
Element是从Node继承而来的，元素是一个小范围的定义，必须是含有完整信息的结点才是一个元素，例如<div>...</div>。但是一个结点不一定是一个元素，而一个元素一定是一个结点。
node有几个子类型：Element,Text,Attribute,RootElement,Comment,Namespace等

2)、SAX

3)、JDOM

4)、DOM4J
(1)简介
dom4j是目前在xml解析方面是最优秀的(Hibernate、Sun的JAXM也都使用dom4j来解析XML)，它合并了许多超出基本XML文档表示的功能，包括集成的XPath支持、XML Schema支持以及用于大文档或流化文档的基于事件的处理。
在使用XPATH时要增加jaxen.jar，否则会出现如下错误：

代码如下:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jaxen/JaxenException
at org.dom4j.DocumentFactory.createXPath(DocumentFactory.java:230)
at org.dom4j.tree.AbstractNode.createXPath(AbstractNode.java:207)     
at org.dom4j.tree.AbstractNode.selectNodes(AbstractNode.java:164)

5)XPATH
(1)简介
XPath是一门在XML文档中查找信息的语言。XPath用于在XML文档中通过元素和属性进行导航。
具体语法介绍参考：http://w3school.com.cn/xpath/index.asp

(2)示例代码：

代码如下:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.StringReader;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;

import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Node;
import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;

import org.xml.sax.SAXException;

public class XMLHandler {

public XMLHandler() {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }
   
    public void parserXML(String strXML){
        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        try {
            DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
            StringReader sr = new StringReader(strXML);
            InputSource is = new InputSource(sr);
            Document doc = builder.parse(is);
           
            XPathFactory xFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
            XPath xpath = xFactory.newXPath();
            XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("/root/TelePhone/type");
            NodeList phones = (NodeList) expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); 
            for (int i = 0; i < phones.getLength(); i++) {
                Node type = phones.item(i);
                String phoneName = ((Element)type).getAttribute("name");
                System.out.println("Phone name = "+phoneName);
                XPathExpression expr1 = xpath.compile("./*");
                NodeList list = (NodeList) expr1.evaluate(type, XPathConstants.NODESET);
                for(int j =0;j<list.getLength();j++){
                    Element e1 = (Element) list.item(j);
                    System.out.println(e1.getNodeName()+"="+e1.getTextContent());
                }
               
            }
        } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }catch (SAXException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }catch (XPathExpressionException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

}
    /**
     * @param args
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        String strXML="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"no\"?>"+
                    "<root>"+
                        "<TelePhone>"+
                            "<type name=\"nokia\">"+
                                "<price>599</price>"+
                                "<operator>CMCC</operator>"+
                            "</type>"+
                            "<type name=\"xiaomi\">"+
                                "<price>699</price>"+
                                "<operator>ChinaNet</operator>"+
                            "</type>"+
                        "</TelePhone>"+
                    "</root>";
        XMLHandler handler = new XMLHandler();
        handler.parserXML(strXML);
    }
