Re: [bloggerDev] Re: java-client library ( attribute and value parsing )

Ravinder,

I can see what you are doing, what I am trying to understand is why.

Our gdata-java-client has APIs for getting the posts and comments without having to worry about the underlying atom feed, as demonstrated in the example BloggerClient sample application.


Can you please explain why you need to parse the XML directly?

Hi Brett,

illustrate in detail.

Say My <Entry> atom feed looks like the following.

////////////////////

here as you can see the <content> tag has a type attribute with value
"html"  and "this is test comment"  as the value of the content within
the entry tag.

I just want to be able to parse the "type" attribute and "this is test
comment"  as value. I am parsing the type in a String with Key
("@type").

There are privacy issues with posting the source code ,as i need
permission from the company which could take some time.


regards,
ravinder chouhan
