fleXiParse - a flexible XML parser framework for Java

Table of Content

Concept

fleXiParse is based on Java's DOM implementation. By defining handlers that are called for every node matching a given set of XPath expressions one can build an XML parser that is flexible and extensible. This concept is supported by an object tree that is managed by the fleXiParse framework. For each XML element in the parsed document a new node is created in the object tree. Handlers can attach arbitrary objects to the object tree and retrieve objects that have been added by other handlers. This way handlers can exchange information in an extensible and transparent manner. The final object tree is returned by the parser and can be used in order to retrieve the informationen gathered by the various handlers during the parsing process.

Documentation

There is an autogenerated javadoc API documentation and a reference documentation in HTML format.
