Re: How do I parse a DTD in Java?

[Gus Heck]

You could extract a copy of the DTD by inspecting the input before you 
parse it and write your own DTD parser... I don't personally know of 
software that parses DTD's directly though, Google of "parse a DTD" 
shows that there is a perl module for this sort of thing I think:

http://search.cpan.org/~phish/XML-LibXML-1.53/lib/XML/LibXML/Dtd.pod

and a java lib:

http://www.wutka.com/dtdparser.html

I also saw something that seemed to talk about a C lib for it in that 
search....

Google knows all :)

Many many many possibilities:
- JDOM
- DOM
- SAX
- Commons Digester
- .... just about ten thousand more...
Really don't need JAXB there which is artillery for people fearing to 
look at XML, to my taste.

I need something dynamic, where the structure of the XML document is

to,
 

at run-time, iterate over the structure and provide the user with
actions to be taken when those elements are encountered in the XML
documents.
