XML DOM Node Tree Example

This section provides a tutorial example on how to print out the DOM Node tree by DOMBrowser.java with a given XML file.

Now let's use another XML file, user.xml, with more elements to show the XML DOM Node tree structure:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<user status="active">
 <!-- This is not a real user. -->
 <first_name>John</first_name>
 <last_name>Smith</last_name>
</user>

Run DOMBrowser.java with this XML file, you will get:

herong> java XMLBrowser user.xml

#document: 9, 1, -1, null
 user: 1, 9, 1, null
  |-status: 2, 1, -1, active
  |- #text: 3, 0, -1, active
  #text: 3, 0, -1,

  #comment: 8, 0, -1,  This is not a real user.
  #text: 3, 0, -1,

  first_name: 1, 1, 0, null
   #text: 3, 0, -1, John
  #text: 3, 0, -1,

  last_name: 1, 1, 0, null
   #text: 3, 0, -1, Smith
  #text: 3, 0, -1,

  address: 1, 5, 0, null
   #text: 3, 0, -1,

   street: 1, 1, 0, null
    #text: 3, 0, -1, 1234 Main Road
   #text: 3, 0, -1,

   city: 1, 1, 0, null
    #text: 3, 0, -1, Bellville
   #text: 3, 0, -1,

  #text: 3, 0, -1,
