Parsing a DCR using CSSDK

TS 6.7.2

The DCR is very simple & I just want to grab values form specific elements where I know the XPath.

Is there any thing available in CSSDK which can treat a file as a DCR & then can retrieve required value from an DCR element? Just trying to avoid to write a non TS code using XML DOM/ XPATH.

I am looking for something simillar to what we have in perl module,

CRnode

My inital thought was on CSSimpleFile, but didnt find anything there closer to what DCRnode provides.

Thanks

If yo are using XML styled DCRs, DOM is a decent approach. Why anyone would be using IWOV style DCRs now I do not know.

It is a XXML based & Yes, very much I have started with DOM. Was curious for TS based. Its more of convenience, when you have the API's, if given by IWOV you expect it covers most of the work scenarrio's .. which we end up writting ourselves.

I do not believe that CSSDK provides any templating interfaces - so there is unlikely to be anything there to specifically process DCRs.

There are a number of XML libraries provided though (SAX, DOM, etc.) so you should be able to parse the DCR using standard library routines.

I would plan on using standard java tools. Even in Perl I use the standard XML modules rather than the DCR modules.

Sure, it makes your code more portable. That said, in few cases I used DCR XML Parsers to parse non-DCR XMLs.
DCR Parser is subclassed from standard and has few useful methods that super class is lacking

Yup.. that last one.. some of the useful methods.. was little tight on timelines .. so thought of using the outof box ones if available. But seems its worth spending sometime there. Thanks all.
