Document doc = db.parse(is);
NodeList nodes = doc.getElementsByTagName("employee");
for (int i = 0; i < nodes.getLength(); i++) {
Element element = (Element) nodes.item(i);

Element line = (Element) name.item(0);
System.out.println("Name: " + getCharacterDataFromElement(line));

}
}
public static String getCharacterDataFromElement(Element e) {
Node child = e.getFirstChild();
if (child instanceof CharacterData) {
CharacterData cd = (CharacterData) child;
return cd.getData();
}
return "";
}
static String xmlRecords =
"<data>" +
" <employee>" +
" <name>Tom</name>"+
" <title>Manager</title>" +
" </employee>" +
" <employee>" +
" <name>Jerry</name>"+
" <title>Programmer</title>" +
" </employee>" +
"</data>";
}
