在网络时代,XML文件起到了一个保存和传输数据的作用。Soap协议通过Xml交流信息,数据库通过Xml文件存取等等。那么怎样快速的从一个XML文件中取得所需的信息呢?
我
们知道,JAVA的JAXP中和Microsoft.Net都有Xml分析器,Microsoft.Net是边读边分析,而JAXP是读到内存中然后才进
行分析(还有一种是事件机制去读),总而言之,是不利于快速读取。基于此,Microsoft.Net
和JAXP都提供了XPATH机制,来快速定位到XML文件中所需的节点。
例如有一个XML文件:booksort.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- a fragment of a book store inventory database -->
<bookstore xmlns:bk="urn:samples">
<book genre="novel" publicationdate="1997" bk:ISBN="1-861001-57-8">
<title>Pride And Prejudice</title>
<author>
<first-name>Jane</first-name>
<last-name>Austen</last-name>
</author>
<price>24.95</price>
</book>
<book genre="novel" publicationdate="1992" bk:ISBN="1-861002-30-1">
<title>The Handmaids Tale</title>
<author>
<first-name>Margaret</first-name>
<last-name>Atwood</last-name>
</author>
<price>29.95</price>
</book>
<book genre="novel" publicationdate="1991" bk:ISBN="1-861001-57-6">
<title>Emma</title>
<author>
<first-name>Jane</first-name>
<last-name>Austen</last-name>
</author>
<price>19.95</price>
</book>
<book genre="novel" publicationdate="1982" bk:ISBN="1-861001-45-3">
<title>Sense and Sensibility</title>
<author>
<first-name>Jane</first-name>
<last-name>Austen</last-name>
</author>
<price>19.95</price>
</book>
</bookstore>
|
如果我们想快速查找”last-name”等于”Austen”的所有标题名,可以通过以下方法可以得到:
XmlReaderSample.cs
//Corelib.net/System.Xml.Xsl/XPathDocument Class
//Author :Any
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
public class XmlReaderSample
{
public static void Main()
{
XmlTextReader myxtreader = new XmlTextReader("booksort.xml");
XmlReader myxreader = myxtreader;
XPathDocument doc = new XPathDocument(myxreader);
XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression expr;
expr = nav.Compile("descendant::book[author/last-name=Austen]");
//expr.AddSort("title", XmlSortOrder.Ascending, XmlCaseOrder.None, "", XmlDataType.Text);
XPathNodeIterator iterator = nav.Select(expr);
while (iterator.MoveNext())
{
XPathNavigator nav2 = iterator.Current;
nav2.MoveToFirstChild();
Console.WriteLine("Book title: {0}", nav2.Value);
}
}
}
|
运行这个程序,结果为:
Book title: Pride And Prejudice
Book title: Emma
Book title: Sense and Sensibility
可以看到查找正确。
利用XPATH中的一些功能,也可以实现简单的排序和简单运算。如在数据库中经常要对数据进行汇总,就可用XPATH实现。
如:
order.xml
The Handmaids Tale
19.95
Americana
16.95
和:books.xml
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin
Franklin
8.99
The Confidence Man
Herman
Melville
11.99
The Gorgias
Plato
9.99
我们可以对该XML文件中的price求和,以得到价格总数。
Evaluate.cs
//Corelib.net/System.Xml.Xsl/XPathNavigator Class
//Author :Any
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.XPath;
public class EvaluateSample
{
public static void Main()
{
EvaluateSample myEvaluateSample = new EvaluateSample();
myEvaluateSample.test("books.xml");
}
public void test(String args)
{
try
{
//test Evaluate(String);
XPathDocument myXPathDocument = new XPathDocument(args);
XPathNavigator myXPathNavigator = myXPathDocument.CreateNavigator();
Console.WriteLine(myXPathNavigator.Evaluate("sum(descendant::book/price)"));
//testEvaluate(XPathExpression);
XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument();
doc.Load("order.xml");
XPathNavigator nav = doc.CreateNavigator();
XPathExpression expr = nav.Compile("sum(//price/text())");
Console.WriteLine(nav.Evaluate(expr));
//testEvaluate(XPathExpression);
XPathNodeIterator myXPathNodeIterator = nav.Select("descendant::book/title");
expr = nav.Compile("sum(//price/text())");
Console.WriteLine(nav.Evaluate(expr,myXPathNodeIterator));
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine ("Exception: {0}", e.ToString());
}
}
}
运行这个程序,结果如下:
30.97
36.9
36.9
我们可以看到,30.97是books.xml中所有price值的总和,而36.9则是order.xml中所有price值的总和。通过XPAH不仅可以快速查找信息,而且还可以对信息进行一些基本的处理。
