DOM vs XPath - Difference? -
i'm curious of pros , cons of these two, dom , xpath. xpath provide dom not, , other way around? i'm not looking performance or that, main difference between 2 when comes navigation? when dom better use xpath example?
thanks.
they complementary rather competing. dom provides tree model of xml low-level navigation capability (get first child, next sibling, etc); xpath adds higher-level search , navigation capability (e.g. average price of books, title of last chapter).
note dom 1 tree model xml, , far being best: it's first , worst, , it's shame many people still use it. in java world there better designs available such jdom , xom.
