Java & XML, 2nd Edition: Solutions to Real-World Problems

by Brett McLaughlin

While the XML "buzz" still dominates talk among Internet developers, the critical need is for information that cuts through the hype and lets Java programmers put XML to work. Java & XML shows how to use the APIs, tools, and tricks of XML to build real-world applications, with the end result that both the data and the code are portable.This second edition of Java & XML adds chapters on Advanced SAX and Advanced DOM, new chapters on SOAP and data binding, and new examples throughout. A concise chapter on XML basics introduces concepts, and the rest of the book focuses on using XML from your Java applications. Java developers who need to work with XML, or think that they will in the future--as well as developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services--will find the new Java & XML a constant companion.This book Includes a quick reference on SAX 2.0, DOM Level 2, and JDOM.

As a temporary developer for Stanford I am finding about the joys and perils on online research. Though most of my time is spent at a computer researching solutions for problems as I find them, I have (against the advice of the 2 programmers I spent most of my time with) started to read through this book. It is weighty, but the mere act reading a book fills me with a more solid surety in my ability than information gleaned from anonymous forums and user sites. It also works as a nice anti-RSI laptop-stand. :-D.

This book is aimed at an intermediate/advanced level programmer who wants to get into java XML libraries. It's a practical guide by example. I found it useful, especially the chapter on JDOM, and the quick introduction chapter to web applications using XML--I would have liked that chapter to be expanded a bit more. The tools they mention throughout the book to help deal with XML were also extremely useful.

Avevo preso questo libro perché speravo mi desse qualche dritta in più su come usare XML in pratica, ma all'atto pratico mi sono accorto che si limitava a fare vedere come usare le API dei vari sistemi come SAX, DOM o JDOM. Tanto valeva prendersi i manuali online, allora :-(

i don't know crap about java so this book is confusing as hell. i'd stay away if you are a java newb.

I was the editor for this book, not the author. But Brett did an excellent job. This edition is out of date; if you're interested in XML and Java, get the third edition.

Good book, but like a previous reviewer, I'd recommend the third(?) edition.

Este libro lo usé hace ya bastante tiempo.
Explica los conceptos básicos de XML y el procesamiento de dicho formato con el lenguaje de Programación Java.
Recomendado para programadores novatos.
