Hello!
I am using Crimson parser to parse xml.
My xml:
******************************
<root>
<aaa>
<bbb>
<info>bbb information</info>
</bbb>
<info>aaa information</info>
</aaa>
</root>
*********************************
After parsing this xml I have Document object;
Can you tell me how can I get "aaa information" from Document object not "bbb information"?
Thank you.
Andrew Sljusar.

Hi Andrew,
There are two ways of getting this information.
1. Using the DOM APIs
2. Using the XPath APIs
Example using DOM:

Example using XPath (requires XALAN):

Thank you.
But if my xml has the following structure:
******************************
<root>
<aaa>
<info>aaa information</info>
<bbb>
<info>bbb information</info>
</bbb>
</aaa>
</root>
*********************************
then this code returns: "bbb information"
NodeList infoNodeList = doc.getElementsByTagName("info");
Element info = (Element) infoNodeList.item(1);
Text text = (Text) info.getFirstChild();
String aaaInformation = text.getNodeValue();
How can I get data from "/root/aaa/info" not from "/root/aaa/bbb/info" using DOM Api?
regards,
Andrew Sljusar

shouldn't that be infoNodeList.item(0) instead of (1) ?
 
Don't get me started about those stupid light bulbs.
