Parsing The XML File using DOM parser in JSP
W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) started the DOM (Document
Object Model) parser, that is the platform independent and language-neutral interface.
Programs can dynamically manipulate the content, structure and
style of documents. The document is processed and the results after
the processing are displayed on to the present page. DOM parser is not an
ideal technology for JSP because JSTL (Java Server Pages Standard Tag Library)
also provides actions for
parsing an XML document.
This example helps you to parsing the xml page in jsp. 'parsingxml.jsp' uses
'roseindia.xml' file and display its content to the jsp page.
roseindia.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<roseindia>
<employee>
<name>Sandeep Kumar Suman</name>
<date-of-birth>15-02-84</date-of-birth>
<city>Gorakhpur</city>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Amit Raghuvanshi</name>
<date-of-birth>19-12-86</date-of-birth>
<city>Lucknow</city>
</employee>
<employee>
<name>Vineet Bansal</name>
