Hi guys i am using sax to extract data from an xml file but i can't seem to
discover how to extract <![CDATA[%s]]> from the xml below is the xml and the java code
//java
codepublic class XmlParser {
public XmlParser(String xml) {
try {
SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
DefaultHandler handler = new DefaultHandler() {
// boolean item = false;
boolean title = false;
boolean link = false;
boolean pubDate = false;
boolean cdata = false;
public void startElement(String uri, String localName, String qName,
Attributes attributes) throws SAXException {
//
// if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("ITEM")) {
// item = true;
// }
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("TITLE")) {
title = true;
}
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("LINK")) {
link = true;
}
if (qName.equalsIgnoreCase("PUBDATE")) {
pubDate = true;
}
if(qName.equalsIgnoreCase("![CDATA[%s]]")){
cdata = true;
}
}
public void endElement(String uri, String localName,
String qName) throws SAXException {
}
public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) throws SAXException {
// if (item) {
// System.out.println("First Name : " + new String(ch, start, length));
// bfname = false;
// }
if (title) {
System.out.println("======================================");
System.out.println("title : " + new String(ch, start, length));
title = false;
}
if (link) {
System.out.println("link : " + new String(ch, start, length));
link = false;
}
if(cdata){
System.out.println("here");
}
if (pubDate) {
System.out.println("pubDate : " + new String(ch, start, length));
System.out.println("======================================");
pubDate = false;
}
}
};
StringReader a = new StringReader(xml);
InputSource s = new InputSource(a);
saxParser.parse(s, handler);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException | SAXException | IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error");
System.out.println(e);
}
}
}
This is the xml file
