This is one file which is stored in my res folder. I want to parse this data.

<ROOT> 
<ROW Name="Product Name~B" CheckBox="" Type="PerformanceNormal"
Count="1" ChildCount="1" Show="Y" Refine="B"> 
   <COL Page="0" Image="" ProductID=""/> 
   <COL Page="1" Image="" ProductID="3">Sainsbury's aromatherapy citrus mint</COL> 
   <COL Page="1" Image="" ProductID="4">TestPerf</COL> 
   <COL Page="1" Image="" ProductID="5">TestPerf001</COL>

Answer 1

Note:If it is not useful then please ignore this.

I found myself to answer my question following way we can separate out (print)all details
we can do it using to parser
1)DOM parser
2)SAX parser

public void ReadAndPrintXMLfileUsingDOM()
    {

        try {
              DocumentBuilderFactory docBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
              DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
              InputStream rStream = null;
                try
                {
                    rStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("sample.xml");;
                }catch (Exception e) 
                {
                    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
                }
                Document doc = docBuilder.parse(rStream);
                doc.getDocumentElement ().normalize ();
                System.out.println ("Root element of the doc is " + 
                doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
                NodeList listOfPersons = doc.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
                int totalPersons = listOfPersons.getLength();
                System.out.println("Total no of people : " + totalPersons);
                for(int s=0; s<listOfPersons.getLength() ; s++)
                {
                    Node firstPersonNode = listOfPersons.item(s);
                    Element firstPersonElement = (Element)firstPersonNode;
                    System.out.println( "==============Name value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "Name" ) );
                    System.out.println( "===============CheckBox value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "CheckBox" ));
                    System.out.println( "==============Type value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "Type" ));
                    System.out.println( "==============Count value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "Count" ));
                    System.out.println( "==============ChildCount value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "ChildCount" ));
                    System.out.println( "==============Show value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "Show" ));
                    System.out.println( "==============Refine value = " + firstPersonElement.getAttribute( "Refine" ));
                    NodeList firstNameList = firstPersonElement.getElementsByTagName("COL");

                    int child_lng=firstNameList.getLength();
                    for(int j=0;j<child_lng;j++)
                    {
                          Node innernode=firstNameList.item(j);
                          Element firstPersonElement1 = (Element)innernode;
                          NamedNodeMap attributes = innernode.getAttributes();
                            Node value=firstNameList.item(j).getChildNodes().item(0); 
                          System.out.println( "==============Page value = " + firstPersonElement1.getAttribute( "Page" ) );
                          System.out.println( "==============Image value = " + firstPersonElement1.getAttribute( "Image" ) );
                          System.out.println( "==============ProductID value = " + firstPersonElement1.getAttribute( "ProductID" ) );
                          System.out.println("+++++++++++++++Node Value : " +value.getNodeValue());

                    }
                 }
          }catch (SAXParseException err) 
          {
              System.out.println ("** Parsing error" + ", line " 
               + err.getLineNumber () + ", uri " + err.getSystemId ());
              System.out.println(" " + err.getMessage ());
          }catch (SAXException e) 
          {
              Exception x = e.getException ();
              ((x == null) ? e : x).printStackTrace ();
          }catch (Exception t) 
          {
              System.out.println(t.getMessage());
          }
    }

second method is

public void ReadAndWriteXMLFileUsingSAXParser(){

        try
        {
            DefaultHandler handler = new MyHandler();
//              parseXmlFile("infilename.xml", handler, true);
            SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
            SAXParser saxParser = factory.newSAXParser();
            InputStream rStream = null;
            rStream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("sample.xml");
            saxParser.parse(rStream, handler);
        }catch (Exception e) 
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }

    }
}
class MyHandler extends DefaultHandler {
    String rootname;Attributes atr;
    private boolean flag=false;
    public void startElement(String namespaceURI, String localName,
                             String qName, Attributes atts)  {
     rootname=localName;
     atr=atts;
     if(rootname.equalsIgnoreCase("ROW")){
         flag=true;
         int length = atts.getLength();
         for (int i=0; i<length; i++) {
             String name = atts.getQName(i);
             String value = atts.getValue(i);
             System.out.println(name+"**********"+value);
         } 
     }


    }
    public void characters(char[] ch, int start, int length){
        String value=new String(ch,start,length);
        if(flag)
        {
            if(rootname.equalsIgnoreCase("COL")){
                 int length2 = atr.getLength();
                 for (int i=0; i<length2; i++) {
                     String name1 = atr.getQName(i);
                     String value1 = atr.getValue(i);
                     System.out.println(name1+"**********"+value1);
                 } 
                System.out.println("++++++++++++++"+value);
            }
        }

    }
    public void endElement(String uri, String localName, String qName){
        rootname=localName;
         if(rootname.equalsIgnoreCase("ROW")){
             flag=false;
         }
    }
}

we got output as when DOM parser
