# JElementTree
JElementTree is an easy-to-use Java library for working with XML in a pythonic way. A big advantage is its powerful, but minimalistic implementation. There is one class, ElementTree, you'll be confronted with.
## Features
* no additional library required
* hierarchical representation of XML tree
* lightweight namespace support
* simple XPath support
* parsing XML documents (currently based on StAX from JDK 1.6)
* method chaining like Java's StringBuilder
## Origin
The concept originates from the ElementTree package of Python which can be found on http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
## Examples
### Example 1: construction of KML document
The following two different codes will a tiny KML document.
```xml
World
Austria
Innsbruck
11.40,47.26
```
```java
String xml = new ElementTree("kml").setNamespace("http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2").
createChild("Document").
createChild("name").
setText("World").
getParent().
createChild("Folder").
createChild("name").
setText("Austria").
getParent().
createChild("Placemark").
createChild("name").
setText("Innsbruck").
getParent().
createChild("Point").
createChild("coordinates").
setText("11.40,47.26").
getRoot().
toXML();
```
```java
String xml2 = new ElementTree("kml").setNamespace("http://earth.google.com/kml/2.2").
createChild("Document").
addChild(new ElementTree("name").setText("World")).
createChild("Folder").
addChild(new ElementTree("name").setText("Austria")).
createChild("Placemark").
addChild(new ElementTree("name").setText("Innsbruck")).
createChild("Point").
addChild(new ElementTree("coordinates").setText("11.40,47.26")).
getRoot().
toXML();
```
### Example 2: geocoding with OpenStreetMap
```java
ElementTree geo = ElementTree.fromStream(new URI("http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?format=xml&q=innsbruck").toURL().openStream());
for (ElementTree i : geo.findAll("//place")) {
System.out.println(i.getAttribute("display_name"));
System.out.println("\t" + i.getAttribute("lon") + "," + i.getAttribute("lat"));
}
```
