| Running SAXWriter and DOMWriter |
| `SAXWriter` and `DOMWriter` parse your input file, and print it out in XML format. A command line option can be used to print in a "canonical" XML format so the output can be used to compare XML documents. SAXWriter and DOMWriter also display any errors or warnings that occurred during the parse. `DOMWriter` provides a -e switch to set the output Java encoding. The command lines below expect the current directory to be the directory containing the JAR file. Requirements: Xerces-J is loaded on your computer. JDK is loaded on your computer. Source code: SAXWriter.java DOMWriter.java
| SAXWriter |
| To run SAXWriter: open up a MS-DOS command line window set the path to the jdk\bin directory change directory to the latest xerces-1_2_1 directory invoke the `SAXWriter` sample On Windows: The easiest way to do this is to create a .bat file using the Notepad editor. Then the `SAXWriter` can be invoked by double clicking on the file name or icon. The following command lines assume that both the jdk and the xerces-1_2_1 directories are located directly below the c: drive.
    set PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.1.8\bin
    set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\xerces-1_2_1\xerces.jar;c:\xerces-1_2_1\xercesSamples.jar
    cd c:\xerces-1_2_1
    java sax.SAXWriter data/personal.xml
Switches: SAXCount also allows you to change the default behavior using the following command line flags: -p Specify the parser class to be used. The available parsers are: org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser [default parser] -h Print SAXWriter help information. [default is no help] -c Output in canonical format. [default is normal format] Running `SAXWriter` with the default settings is equivalent to running `SAXWriter` like this (type this in as one long command line):
    java sax.SAXWriter -p org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
        data/personal.xml
Bringing up the help information:
    java sax.SAXWriter -h
Print in canonical format:
    java sax.SAXWriter -c  data/personal.xml
| Parse your own XML file instead of data/personal.xml
| DOMWriter |
| To run DOMWriter: open up a MS-DOS command line window set the path to the jdk\bin directory change directory to the latest xerces-1_2_1 directory invoke the `DOMWriter` sample On Windows: The easiest way to do this is to create a .bat file using the Notepad editor. Then the `DOMWriter` can be invoked by double clicking on the file name or icon. The following command lines assume that both the jdk and the xerces-1_2_1 directories are located directly below the c: dirve.
    set PATH=%PATH%;c:\jdk1.1.8\bin
    set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;c:\xerces-1_2_1\xerces.jar;c:\xerces-1_2_1\xercesSamples.jar
    cd c:\xerces-1_2_1
    java dom.DOMWriter data/personal.xml
Switches: DOMCount also allows you to change the default behavior via the following command line flags (type this in as one long command line): -p Specify the parser class to be used. The available parsers are: dom.wrappers.DOMParser [default parser] -h Print DOMWriter help information. [default is no help] -c Output in canonical format. [default is normal format] -e encodingName Output using the specified encoding. [default is UTF8] Running `DOMWriter` with the default settings is equivalent to running `DOMWriter` like this:
    java dom.DOMWriter -p dom.wrappers.DOMParser
        data/personal.xml
Bringing up the help information:
    java dom.DOMWriter -h
Searching for elements:
    java dom.DOMWriter -c data/personal.xml
Running DOMWriter with the -e switch and no encoding specified will print out a list of valid encoding names:
    java dom.DOMWriter -e
Prints the following:
