提问：在Java中如何用Xpath阅读xml？

我想使用Java中的XPath读取XML数据，但目前我无法根据我的要求解析XML。

这是我想做的：

通过其URL联机获取XML文件，然后使用XPath对其进行解析，我想在其中创建两个方法。一种是输入一个特定的节点属性ID，然后得到所有的子节点，第二种是假设我只想获得一个特定的子节点值

在上面的示例中，如果我通过@name搜索，我会读取所有元素，并且我想只从@name'Javascript'中获取url就会只返回一个节点元素。

回答1：

您需要遵循以下要求：

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse(<uri_as_string>);
XPathFactory xPathfactory = XPathFactory.newInstance();
XPath xpath = xPathfactory.newXPath();
XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile(<xpath_expression>);

然后，调用expr.evaluate()传入该代码中定义的文档以及所需的返回类型，并将结果转换为结果的对象类型。

如果您需要有关特定XPath表达式的帮助，则可能应该将其作为单独的问题进行询问。
