[jdom-interest] RE: XML Syntax Suggestion

[Jon Baer]

SAXBuilder builder = new SAXBuilder();
Document doc = builder.build("mylist.xml");

int entryCount = 0; int attribCount = 0;
Element list = doc.getRootElement(); // list
List entries = list.getChildren("entry"); // entry
Iterator i = entries.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
entryCount++;
Element e = (Element)i.next();
    List attribs = e.getChildren("attrib"); // attrib
    Iterator a = attribs.iterator();
    while (a.hasNext()) {
    attribCount++;
    Element attrib = (Element)a.next();
            System.out.println("Entry: " + entryCount);
            System.out.println("Attrib: " + attribCount);
            System.out.println("Name: " + attrib.getAttributeValue("name"));
            System.out.println("Value: " + attrib.getAttributeValue("value"));
    }
}
