XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <wolfgang.hoschek AT mac.com>]

For simplicity, one can simply ignore the tagsoup namespacing via

// find the links of all images in an ill-formed HTML document
  XMLReader parser = new org.ccil.cowan.tagsoup.Parser(); // tagsoup  
parser
  parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces";, false);
  parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace- 
prefixes", false);

  Document doc = new Builder(parser).build("http://www.yahoo.com";);
  Nodes results = XQueryUtil.xquery(doc, "//*:img/@src");

  for (int i=0; i < results.size(); i++) {
     System.out.println("node "+i+": " + results.get(i).toXML());
     //System.out.println("node "+i+": " + XOMUtil.toPrettyXML 
(results.get(i)));
  }


Note the star in "//*:img/@src"...
