如何在Java中读取XML样式的文本文件？

Question

I want to read below XML file in Java which is in text format,

XML File:

    <Sample>
     <DATA>
       <ID>12345</ID>
       <NAME>Person1</NAME>
       <MAIL>sa@gmail.com</MAIL>
       <Class>A&B</Class>
    </DATA>
    <DATA>
       <ID>12345</ID>
       <NAME>Person1</NAME>
       <MAIL>sa@gmail.com</MAIL>
       <Class>A<B</Class>
    </DATA>
   </Sample>

I was used JAXB to read this xml file, for this i have added a POJO class too with annotation. While unmarshalling the XMl file am getting a below exception

[org.xml.sax.SAXParseException : The entity must immediately follow the '&' in the entity reference.]

Can any one suggest me a best approach to read this xml?

Answer 1

See link - as stated by the error, the XML expects an entity reference. You'll need to use & , and > for that greater-than symbol. The Saxon library you are using should process these URLencoded characters correctly.

When the XML parser finds an ampersand in the XML data, it expects to find a symbol name and a semicolon following it. The symbol name provides a symbolic reference to another entity or character such as the ampersand, greater-than, and less-than characters.
