Example Code Organization

The tut-install/javaeetutorial5/examples/stax/ directory contains the six StAX example directories:

• Cursor example: The cursor directory contains CursorParse.java, which illustrates how to use the XMLStreamReader (cursor) API to read an XML file.

• Cursor-to-Event example: The cursor2event directory contains CursorApproachEventObject.java, which illustrates how an application can get information as an XMLEvent object when using cursor API.

• Event example: The event directory contains EventParse.java, which illustrates how to use the XMLEventReader (event iterator) API to read an XML file.

• Filter example: The filter directory contains MyStreamFilter.java, which illustrates how to use the StAX Stream Filter APIs. In this example, the filter accepts only StartElement and EndElement events, and filters out the remainder of the events.

• Read-and-Write example: The readnwrite directory contains EventProducerConsumer.java, which illustrates how the StAX producer/consumer mechanism can be used to simultaneously read and write XML streams.

• Writer example: The writer directory contains CursorWriter.java, which illustrates how to use XMLStreamWriter to write an XML file programatically.

All of the StAX examples except for the Writer example use an example XML document, BookCatalog.xml.
