Searching XML file using DOM

[simon]

I have an XML file that I read using DOM. The file is that:

Code:

<database>
<object id="0001">
more elements here
</object>
<object id="0002">
more elements here
</object>
and so on....
</database>

I want to be able to retrieve the element where id=xxxx. And I should also be able to access the elements that are in the object element I found.
can I do that?


thank you

I think it is better to use SAX than DOM to search the xml file if the xml is going to be to big and it will work fast.

You can also use XPath to get what you want.
