Question

how i can find the “abc” from this tag through JAVA code and SAX parser.

<first name="abc">My Text<first>

for example i am using the java code given below to find “My Text” from the above tag.

NodeList firstNameList = firstPersonElement.getElementsByTagName("first");
Element firstNameElement = (Element)firstNameList.item(0);
String type = firstPersonElement.getTextContent();

NodeList textFNList = firstNameElement.getChildNodes();
System.out.println("First Name : " + 
       ((Node)textFNList.item(0)).getNodeValue().trim());

but i don’t know how to find “abc” from <first name="abc">My Text<first>

I searched by myself but i didn’t find my exact solution.

Answer 1

name="abc" is an attribute of the first element.

String name = firstNameElement.getAttribute("name"); // "abc"
