XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is a widely used format for storing and exchanging data. In many cases, XML files contain elements with attributes that provide additional information about the data. When working with XML files in Java, it's essential to know how to read and parse these attributes.

Java and XML

Java provides several libraries for parsing XML, such as DOM (Document Object Model) and SAX (Simple API for XML). In this guide, we'll focus on using the DOM approach, which represents an XML document as a tree of nodes.

This Java program uses the DOM parser to read the XML file and extract information about each book, including attributes. Adjustments can be made based on the structure of your XML file.

Understanding how to read XML files with attributes in Java is a valuable skill for processing and manipulating data in various applications.
