java Using Java to take in a XML file

[timsweb]

Hey,

I was wondering how I could use Java to take in a XML file and put the data in a object? and write to a XML file?

Thanks, Tim

For serializing objects, you might want to take a look at XStream: http://xstream.codehaus.org/

If external libraries aren't an option, you can use the built-in java classes for XML parsing:

You'll have to do any type conversions for numbers and such for the values inside the XML nodes this way though.

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks kjordan2001
