I am writing a screen scraping app that reads out various pages and extracts the data. I'm using the SAXParserFactory go get a SAXParser which in turn gets me an XMLReader. I have configured the Factory like this: spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance(); spf.setValidating(false); spf.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/validation", fal...
Hi all, Hi, I am new to python and I'm trying to parse a XML file with SAX without validating it. The head of my xml file is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE n:document SYSTEM "schema.dtd"> <n:document.... and I've tried to parse it with python 2.5.2: from xml.sax import make_parser, handler import sys parser = mak...
I am working on converting an excel spread sheet into an xml document that needs to be validated against a schema. I am currently building the xml document using the DOM api, and validating at the end using SAX and a custom error handler. However, I would really like to be able to validate the xml produced from each Cell as I parse the e...
Hi, I would like to have a way to display the contents of an XML file in a JTree. I have already accomplished this using DOM, by implementing a custom TreeModel (and TreeCellRenderer). However it is very clunky (much workaround-ery and hackery) and rather rough around the edges. Is anyone aware of a way to get a JTree to display the co...
Hi All. I have strange problem. I'm parsing a document with large text field. in my characters section i'm using StringBuilder currentStory.append(ch, start, length); then in my endElement i'm assigning it to the appropriate field on my object. if (name.equals(tagDesc)) { inDesc = false; if (currentItem != null ) { ...
Hi all, I'm trying to parse that document with SAX: <scxml version="1.0" initialstate="start" name="calc"> <datamodel> <data id="expr" expr="0" /> <data id="res" expr="0" /> </datamodel> <state id="start"> <transition event="OPER" target="opEntered" /> <transition event="DIGIT" target="operand" /> ...
I am pretty sure the answer is no but of course there are cleverer guys than me! Is there a way to construct a lazy SAX based XML parser that can be stopped (e.g. raising an exception is a possible way of doing this) but also resumable ? I am looking for a possible solution for Python >= 2.6 with standard XML libraries. The "lazy" part...
Given this XML snippet <?xml version="1.0"?> <catalog> <book id="bk101"> <author>Gambardella, Matthew</author> In SAX, it is easy to get attribute values: @Override public void startElement (String uri, String localName, String qName, Attributes attributes) throws SAXException{ if(qName.equals("book")){ ...
I have a large XML data file (>160M) to process, and it seems like SAX/expat/pulldom parsing is the way to go. I'd like to have a thread that sifts through the nodes and pushes nodes to be processed onto a queue, and then other worker threads pull the next available node off the queue and process it. I have the following (it should have...
I'm using SAX to parse some XML. In my handler's startElement() method I'm trying to read the value of an attribute named xsi:type with something like: String type = attributes.getValue("xsi:type"); However, it always returns null. This works fine for everything else so I'm assuming that it's due to the namespace prefix. How can I get...
Using Sax ActiveX Scripting (long story), I have 3 nested if statements which reuse the same return variable. Script looks roughly like: Dim rtnArray As Variant If variable1 <> "" Then ' Perform SQL query against DB2 database rtnArray = DB2SQLSearch(Query) If UBound(rtnArray) = 0 Then ' ditto rtnArray = DB2SQ...
Is a SAX Parser capable of capturing mixed content within an XML document (see example below)? <element>here is some <b>mixed content</b></element> ...
hi friends i'm using Sax parser for parsing my xml file which i recieve from the internet... The problem is that the normal xml is parsed fine except the xml files which have "»" symbol in the attributes... everytime i try parsing the file i get the following error 02-11 16:57:35.547: INFO/System.out(754): org.apache.harmony.xml.Expat...
What I need is just get the text of the corresponding tag and persist it into database. Since the xml file is big (4.5GB) I'm using sax. I used the characters method to get the text and put it in a dictionary. However when I'm printing the text at the endElement method I'm getting a new line instead of the text. Here is my code: def ch...
Hi all I'm parsing an XML document using SAX in Java. I'm working with the XML that describes research publications in different fields. Among others there are elements like "abstract" that shortly describes what the reserch paper is about. The basic HTML formatting is allowed in that field, but I don't want the SAX to threat the HTML ta...
I searched the web and I searched stackoverflow up and down. No solution. Although I found solutions how to do this within pure xslt here. But the problem is that the resulting xml will be several hundred MB large. So I must do this with SAX in Java. (please no xslt solution, although I tagged it with xslt ;-)) Let me explain with more...
Hey, I know the difference between Sax and Dom is pretty substantial regarding parsing Xml, but what about creating ones ? is there even a way to create new Xml using Sax or that if i want to create new Xml file based on my data in my program , i will have to use DOM ? Thanks ...
In my code I convert some styled xls document to html using openoffice. I then parse the tables using xml_parser_create. The problem is that openoffice creates oldschool html with unclosed <BR> and <HR> tags, it doesn't create doctypes and don't quote attributes <TABLE WIDTH=4>. The php parsers I know off don't like this, and yield xml ...
Hi, I'm trying to parse a huge xml file with lxml in a memory efficient manner (ie streaming lazily from disk instead of loading the whole file in memory). Unfortunately, the file contains some bad ascii characters that break the default parser. The parser works if I set recover=True, but the iterparse method doesn't take the recover ...
How can I force a SAX parser (specifically, Xerces in Java) to use a DTD when parsing a document without having any doctype in the input document? Is this even possible? Here are some more details of my scenario: We have a bunch of XML documents that conform to the same DTD that are generated by multiple different systems (none of whi...
