Probably not the best of choices but I think it can do the job. What is the best way to parse an XML file using the SAX parser ? I have seen examples where they store each element tag in java bean classes. I am not sure this is a good way for my XML file which looks like this: <parent> <node1> <child1>AAA</child1> <grandchild1>BBB</grandchild1> <grandchild2> <anything>CCC</anything> </grandchild2> <child2>DDD< <child3>DDD< </node1> <node2> <child1>AAA< <grandchild1>BBB</grandchild1> <grandchild2> <anything>CCC</anything> </grandchild2> <child2>DDD< <child3>DDD< </node2> </parent> I have to get the value of the tag "anything" in node1, node2 etc ..., store the value of child3 in a database etc ... Does anyone have any experience or advices regarding the fastest way to do that using SAX (or any other parser) ? Thanks !

A bit slower, but its OK. Probably, your DB insert code will take the longest time.

Does anyone have any experience or advices regarding the fastest way to do that using SAX (or any other parser) ? Thanks ! What's meant by "fast"? Fastest development or fastest execution? I'm reading chapters 5-6 of <http://java.sun.com/j2ee/1.4/docs/tutorial/doc/index.html>. I believe that SAX <http://www.saxproject.org/> has a faster developement. There's also JDOM <http://www.jdom.org/> and DOM4j <http://www.dom4j.org/>. DOM is designed to work with a variety of languages, such as Perl, which can be a downside if you're doing everything else in Java, I would think. I'd be very interested in how you're going to do your db insertions, and which database you select :) -Thufir Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AppletTalk.com Forum Index -> Java Help All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Java Newsgroups----------------Java DiscussionsWeb-based java games comp.lang.java 3D Graphics API's for Java Java: Support and criticism Java System Announcements comp.lang.java.api JavaBeans Java and CORBA Java and Databases comp.lang.java.developer Java GUI Toolkits Java Help comp.lang.java.javascript JVM, native methods and hardware comp.lang.java.misc Java Language Programming Security and Java comp.lang.java.setup Java Software Tools comp.lang.java.tech ibm.software.java.linux  Non-English Java Newsgroups----------------Java Language (German)Language Java (Français)Java (Italian)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
