对于现在越来越轻量级,越来越讲究速度和接近用户的应用来说,xml确实有点复杂了。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。昨天搞chrome的设置,发现chrome的设置文件也是使用的json,读起来也是轻松愉快。
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。

this.xmlPath = xmlPath;

publicboolean match(String path, Attributes attributes) {
if (xmlPath.equals(path) ==false) {
returnfalse;
}
for (String key : attributeMatchValidation.keySet()) {
String exp = attributeMatchValidation.get(key);
String compare = attributes.getValue(key);
if (exp.equalsIgnoreCase(compare) ==false) {
returnfalse;
}
}
returntrue;
}
public Map<String, String> getAttributeMatchValidation() {
return attributeMatchValidation;
}
publicvoid addAttributeValidation(String key, String value) {
attributeMatchValidation.put(key, value);
}
public String getXmlPath() {
return xmlPath;
}
publicvoid setAttributeMatchValidation(
Map<String, String> attributeMatchValidation) {
this.attributeMatchValidation = attributeMatchValidation;
}
public String getExpectedAttr() {
return expectedAttr;
}
/**
* if target is node value, then set expectedAttr to null. if target is an
* attribute value, set it to be the attribute name.
*
* @param expectedAttr
*/
publicvoid setExpectedAttr(String expectedAttr) {
this.expectedAttr = expectedAttr;
}
/**
* hash code can be cached if all properties are not be be changed.
*/
@Override
publicint hashCode() {
finalint 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
publicboolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this== obj)
returntrue;
if (obj ==null)
returnfalse;
if (getClass() != obj.getClass())
returnfalse;
XMLSearchUnit other = (XMLSearchUnit) obj;
if (attributeMatchValidation ==null) {
if (other.attributeMatchValidation !=null)
returnfalse;
} elseif (!attributeMatchValidation
.equals(other.attributeMatchValidation))
returnfalse;
if (expectedAttr ==null) {
if (other.expectedAttr !=null)
returnfalse;
} elseif (!expectedAttr.equals(other.expectedAttr))
returnfalse;
if (xmlPath ==null) {
if (other.xmlPath !=null)
returnfalse;
} elseif (!xmlPath.equals(other.xmlPath))
returnfalse;
returntrue;
}
}
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。
