Summary
In this chapter we have discussed how we can use a DOM parser to analyze XML and how JAXP
supports the synthesis and modification of XML documents using DOM. The key points we have
covered include the following:
An object of type
DocumentBuilder
encapsulates a DOM parser.
❑
You create an object encapsulating a DOM parser by using a
DocumentBuilderFactory
object that you obtain by calling the static
newInstance()
method that is defined in the
DocumentFactoryBuilder
class.
❑
You can parse an XML document by passing the document as an argument to the
parse()
method for a
DocumentBuilder
object.
❑
A DOM parser creates a
Document
object that encapsulates an entire XML document as a
tree of
Node
objects.
❑
The DOM API defines the methods that a
Document
object has that enable you to analyze an
XML document by navigating through the nodes in the
Document
object.
❑
The DOM API also defines methods for creating a new XML document encapsulated by a
Document
object.
❑
When you want to create a new XML document that includes a DTD you should use the
createDocument()
method for a
DOMImplementation
object rather than the
newDocument()
method for a
DocumentBuilder
object.
