Example XML Document

Filter example

: The filter directory contains MyStreamFilter.java, which illustrates

how to use the StAX Stream Filter APIs. In this example, the filter accepts only
StartElement

and EndElement events, and filters out the remainder of the events.

Read-and-Write example

: The readnwrite directory contains

EventProducerConsumer.java

, which illustrates how the StAX producer/consumer

mechanism can be used to simultaneously read and write XML streams.

Writer example

: The writer directory contains CursorWriter.java, which illustrates how

to use XMLStreamWriter to write an XML file programatically.

All of the StAX examples except for the Writer example use an example XML document,
BookCatalog.xml

Example XML Document

The example XML document, BookCatalog.xml, used by most of the StAX example classes, is a
simple book catalog based on the common BookCatalogue namespace. The contents of
BookCatalog.xml

are listed below:

<?xml version=

Cursor Example

Located in the tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/stax/cursor/ directory,
CursorParse.java

demonstrates using the StAX cursor API to read an XML document. In the

Cursor example, the application instructs the parser to read the next event in the XML input
stream by calling <code>next()</code>.
