Extend SAX parser event handler in Java
Description
The following code shows how to extend SAX parser event handler.
Example
/*from ww w .j a va2 s . c o m*/
import java.io.StringReader;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;
import org.xml.sax.Attributes;
import org.xml.sax.InputSource;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler;
public class Main{
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setNamespaceAware(true);
spf.setValidating(true);
System.out.println("Parser will " + (spf.isNamespaceAware() ? "" : "not ")+ "be namespace aware");
System.out.println("Parser will " + (spf.isValidating() ? "" : "not ") + "validate XML");
SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
System.out.println("Parser object is: " + parser);
StringReader sr = new StringReader("<tag></tag>");
parser.parse(new InputSource(sr), new MySAXHandler());
}
}
class MySAXHandler extends DefaultHandler {
public void startDocument() {
System.out.println("Start document: ");
}
public void endDocument() {
System.out.println("End document: ");
}
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qname, Attributes attr) {
System.out.println("Start element: local name: " + localName + " qname: " + qname + " uri: "
+ uri);
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qname) {
System.out.println("End element: local name: " + localName + " qname: " + qname + " uri: "
+ uri);
}
public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length) {
System.out.println("Characters: " + new String(ch, start, length));
}
public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] ch, int start, int length) {
System.out.println("Ignorable whitespace: " + new String(ch, start, length));
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
