==================作者有话================

xml确实有点复杂，解析起来不仅耗内存，而且很复杂。这就好像花了几千块钱买了个MS Office，但是80%的feature都用不着，还白白的耗着CPU和内存。

个人觉得，设置文件用XML其实挺好，因为设置文件一般并不太大，而且要求可读性强，还有很多乱七八糟的需求，可以利用XML的力量。

前阵子做了个程序，需要解析豆瓣API调用返回的XML。真想说一句。。。豆瓣你别用XML了。。。至少，提供个json版的API调用吧。

（以上谨代表个人观点）

===================正文=================

解析豆瓣返回的xml，实在是不想用DOM这个重量级的玩意。DOM这个玩意，说它强大好还是说它官僚好呢。我倾向于使用SAXP解析。但是现在面临的一个问题是，我需要根据xml节点的名字和属性值（一个或者多个）来决定当前的值是不是我想要的。这就麻烦一点点。第一反应是考虑xpath。后来觉得不如自己做一个得了，权当是按需定制一个轻量级的xpath。

首先定义XMLSearchUnit类，这个类的实例用来描述一个需要在XML中搜索的值，值可以是xml节点的值，或者是节点的属性。

    // if it is null or empty, then means the target is node value.
    private String expectedAttr;

    // xml path, format is: /node_name/node_name/...
    private String xmlPath;

    public XMLSearchUnit(String xmlPath) {
        this.xmlPath = xmlPath;
    }

    /**

            return false;
        }

        for (String key : attributeMatchValidation.keySet()) {
            String exp = attributeMatchValidation.get(key);
            String compare = attributes.getValue(key);
            if (exp.equalsIgnoreCase(compare) == false) {
                return false;
            }

        return expectedAttr;
    }

    /**

    public void setExpectedAttr(String expectedAttr) {
        this.expectedAttr = expectedAttr;
    }

    @Override
    public int hashCode() {
        final int prime = 31;
        int result = 1;
        result = prime
                * result
                + ((attributeMatchValidation == null) ? 0
                        : attributeMatchValidation.hashCode());
        result = prime * result
                + ((expectedAttr == null) ? 0 : expectedAttr.hashCode());
        result = prime * result + ((xmlPath == null) ? 0 : xmlPath.hashCode());
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean equals(Object obj) {
        if (this == obj)
            return true;
        if (obj == null)
            return false;
        if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
            return false;
        XMLSearchUnit other = (XMLSearchUnit) obj;
        if (attributeMatchValidation == null) {
            if (other.attributeMatchValidation != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!attributeMatchValidation
                .equals(other.attributeMatchValidation))
            return false;
        if (expectedAttr == null) {
            if (other.expectedAttr != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!expectedAttr.equals(other.expectedAttr))
            return false;
        if (xmlPath == null) {
            if (other.xmlPath != null)
                return false;
        } else if (!xmlPath.equals(other.xmlPath))
            return false;
        return true;
    }

}

 

这个类比较简单。就是用一个hashmap保待匹配的attribut键值对，用一个字符串表示期待的attribute name，用一个字符串表示期待的node path。

然后就是如何在SAXP里用到这个类的实例去搜索了。
