Searching XML File using DOM Parser of JAXP

Until now, we have already seen two examples of DOM Parser provided by JAXP:

1. Create XML file using DOM
2. Traverse xml file

In this tutorial, we will learn how to search the XML file for particular node in DOM Parser

Input File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<Movies>
	<Movie Actor="Aamir Khan" Name="Lagaan" Type="BollyWood">
		This is node description for Movie Lagaan
	</Movie>
	<Movie Actor="Aamir Khan" Name="Andaaz Apana Apna" Type="BollyWood" />
	<Movie Actor="Salman Khan" Name="Dabang" Type="BollyWood" />
	<Movie Actor="Salman Khan" Name="Wanted" Type="BollyWood" />
	<Movie Actor="AKshay Kumar" Name="Mujhse Shadi karoge" Type="BollyWood" />
<Movies2011>
	<jan>
		Yamla Pagala Deewana
</jan>
</Movies2011>
</Movies>
