如何在Java中使用XPath读取XML
我想用Java中的XPath读取XML数据，因此对于我收集的信息，我无法根据我的要求解析XML。
这是我想要做的事情：
通过它的URL从在线获取XML文件，然后使用XPath解析它，我想在其中创建两个方法。 一个是我在其中输入一个特定的节点属性ID，我得到所有的子节点作为结果，第二个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进行搜索，并且还想从@name'Javascript'中只返回一个节点元素，我想要读取所有元素。
我希望我清除了我的问题:)
谢谢。

你需要做的事情如下：
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()传递该代码中定义的文档和您期望的返回类型，并将结果转换为结果的对象类型。
如果你需要特定XPath表达式的帮助，你应该把它作为单独的问题来提出（除非这是你的问题 - 我理解你的问题是如何在Java中使用API）。
编辑:(对评论的回应）：这个XPath表达式将为您提供PowerBuilder下的第一个URL元素的文本：
/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url/text()
这会让你获得第二个：
/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url[2]/text()
你用这个代码得到它：
expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.STRING);
如果您不知道给定节点中有多少个网址，那么您应该这样做：
XPathExpression expr = xpath.compile("/howto/topic[@name='PowerBuilder']/url");
NodeList nl = (NodeList) expr.evaluate(doc, XPathConstants.NODESET);
然后遍历NodeList。
你可以试试这个。
XML文档
另存为employees.xml 。
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Employees>
<Employee id="1">
<age>29</age>
<name>Pankaj</name>
<gender>Male</gender>
<role>Java Developer</role>
</Employee>
<Employee id="2">
<age>35</age>
<name>Lisa</name>
<gender>Female</gender>
<role>CEO</role>
</Employee>
<Employee id="3">
<age>40</age>
<name>Tom</name>
<gender>Male</gender>
<role>Manager</role>
</Employee>
<Employee id="4">
<age>25</age>
<name>Meghan</name>
<gender>Female</gender>
<role>Manager</role>
</Employee>
</Employees>
解析器类
这个类有以下几种方法

}
