Reading Documents with StAX
XMLStreamReader is the key interface in StAX. This interface represents a cursor that's moved across an XML document from beginning to end. At any given time, this cursor points at one thing: a text node, a start-tag, a comment, the beginning of the document, etc. The cursor always moves forward, never backward, and normally only moves one item at a time. You invoke methods such as getName and getText on the XMLStreamReader to retrieve information about the item the cursor is currently positioned at.
A typical StAX program begins by using the XMLInputFactory class to load an implementation dependent instance of XMLStreamReader:
Code:
URL u = new URL("http://www.cafeconleche.org/");
InputStream in = u.openStream();
XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();
XMLStreamReader parser = factory.createXMLStreamReader(in);
