如何在Java中使用XPath读取XML

标签： java xml parsing xpath

我想在Java中使用XPath读取XML数据，因此对于我收集的信息，我无法根据我的要求解析XML。

这就是我想要做的事情：

通过URL从在线获取XML文件，然后使用XPath解析它，我想在其中创建两个方法。一个是我输入一个特定的节点属性id，我得到所有子节点作为结果，第二个假设我只想获得一个特定的子节点值

在上面的例子中，我想读取所有元素，如果我通过@name搜索，还有一个函数，我只想从@name'javascript'中获取url，只返回一个节点元素。

你需要这样的东西：

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(<uri_as_string>);
XPathFactory xPathfactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xpath = xPathfactory.newXPath();
XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile(<xpath_expression>);

然后调用expr.evaluate()传入该代码中定义的文档和您期望的返回类型，并将结果转换为结果的对象类型。

如果您需要有关特定XPath表达式的帮助，您应该将其作为单独的问题提出（除非这是您首先提出的问题 - 我理解您的问题是如何在Java中使用API​​）。

编辑:(对评论的回应）：这个XPath表达式将为您提供PowerBuilder下第一个URL元素的文本：

/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url/text()

这将为您提供第二个：

/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url[2]/text()

您可以使用此代码获得：

expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.STRING);

如果你不知道给定节点中有多少个URL，那么你应该做这样的事情：

XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url");
NodeList nl = (NodeList) expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);

然后遍历NodeList。

你可以试试这个。

Parser class

该课程有以下方法

  • 列表项
  • 将返回输入ID的员工姓名的方法。
  • 一种方法，它将返回年龄大于输入年龄的员工姓名列表。
  • 将返回女性员工姓名列表的方法。

以下是使用vtd-xml处理xpath的示例...对于重型XML处理，它是首屈一指的。这是最近关于这个主题的论文Processing XML with Java – A Performance Benchmark 

import com.ximpleware.*;

public class changeAttrVal {
    public  static  void main(String s[]) throws VTDException,java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException,java.io.IOException{
        VTDGen vg = new VTDGen();
        if (!vg.parseFile("input.xml", false))
            return;
        VTDNav vn = vg.getNav();
        AutoPilot ap = new AutoPilot(vn);
        XMLModifier xm = new XMLModifier(vn);
        ap.selectXPath("/*/place[@id=\"p14\" and   @initialMarking=\"2\"]/@initialMarking");
        int i=0;
        while((i=ap.evalXPath())!=-1){
            xm.updateToken(i+1, "499");// change initial marking from 2 to 499
        }
        xm.output("new.xml");

这向您展示了如何

  1. 将XML文件读入DOM
  2. 使用Nodes过滤掉一组XPath
  3. 对每个提取的Nodes执行特定操作。

我们将使用以下语句调用代码

processFilteredXml(xmlIn, xpathExpr,(node) -> {/*Do something...*/;});

在我们的例子中，我们想使用creatorNames作为xpath从book.xml打印一些"//book/creators/creator/creatorName"，以在与{{1} }。

完整代码 

printNode

打印 

XPath

对于@Test public void printXml() { try (InputStream in = readFile("book.xml")) { processFilteredXml(in, "//book/creators/creator/creatorName", (node) -> { printNode(node, System.out); }); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } private InputStream readFile(String yourSampleFile) { return Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResourceAsStream(yourSampleFile); } private void processFilteredXml(InputStream in, String xpath, Consumer<Node> process) { Document doc = readXml(in); NodeList list = filterNodesByXPath(doc, xpath); for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++) { Node node = list.item(i); process.accept(node); } } public Document readXml(InputStream xmlin) { try { DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder(); return db.parse(xmlin); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } private NodeList filterNodesByXPath(Document doc, String xpathExpr) { try { XPathFactory xPathFactory = XPathFactory.newInstance(); XPath xpath = xPathFactory.newXPath(); XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile(xpathExpr); Object eval = expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET); return (NodeList) eval; } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } private void printNode(Node node, PrintStream out) { try { Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes"); transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes"); transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2"); StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter()); DOMSource source = new DOMSource(node); transformer.transform(source, result); String xmlString = result.getWriter().toString(); out.println(xmlString); } catch (Exception e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } }

扩展@bluish和@Yishai的优秀答案，以下是如何使NodeLists和节点属性支持迭代器，即for(Node n: nodelist)接口。

使用它像：

NodeList nl = ...
for(Node n : XmlUtil.asList(nl))
{...}

和

Node n = ...
for(Node attr : XmlUtil.asList(n.getAttributes())
{...}

代码：

/**
 * Converts NodeList to an iterable construct.
 * From: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19591302/779521
 */
public final class XmlUtil {
    private XmlUtil() {}

    public static List<Node> asList(NodeList n) {
        return n.getLength() == 0 ? Collections.<Node>emptyList() : new NodeListWrapper(n);
    }

    static final class NodeListWrapper extends AbstractList<Node> implements RandomAccess {
        private final NodeList list;

        NodeListWrapper(NodeList l) {
            this.list = l;
        }

        public Node get(int index) {
            return this.list.item(index);
        }

        public int size() {
            return this.list.getLength();
        }
    }

    public static List<Node> asList(NamedNodeMap n) {
        return n.getLength() == 0 ? Collections.<Node>emptyList() : new NodeMapWrapper(n);
    }

    static final class NodeMapWrapper extends AbstractList<Node> implements RandomAccess {
        private final NamedNodeMap list;

        NodeMapWrapper(NamedNodeMap l) {
            this.list = l;
        }

        public Node get(int index) {
            return this.list.item(index);
        }

        public int size() {
            return this.list.getLength();

        </n0:ForAnsiHeaderOperResponse>
    </e:Body>
</e:Envelope>

，并希望提取以下xml 

<e:Header>
   <Friends>
      <friend>
         <Name>Testabc</Name>
         <Age>12121</Age>
         <Phone>Testpqr</Phone>
      </friend>
   </Friends>
</e:Header>

下面的代码有助于实现相同的目的

public static void main(String[] args) {

    File fXmlFile = new File("C://Users//abhijitb//Desktop//Test.xml");
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    Document document;
    Node result = null;
    try {
        document = dbf.newDocumentBuilder().parse(fXmlFile);
        XPath xPath = XPathFactory.newInstance().newXPath();
        String xpathStr = "//Envelope//Header";
        result = (Node) xPath.evaluate(xpathStr, document, XPathConstants.NODE);
        System.out.println(nodeToString(result));
    } catch (SAXException | IOException | ParserConfigurationException | XPathExpressionException
            | TransformerException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

private static String nodeToString(Node node) throws TransformerException {
    StringWriter buf = new StringWriter();
    Transformer xform = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    xform.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
    xform.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(buf));
    return (buf.toString());
}

现在，如果您只想要xml，如下所示

<Friends>
   <friend>
      <Name>Testabc</Name>
      <Age>12121</Age>
      <Phone>Testpqr</Phone>
   </friend>
</Friends>

您需要更改

String xpathStr = "//Envelope//Header";至String xpathStr = "//Envelope//Header/*";
