[Vtd-xml-users] VTD 2.13.1: No TOKEN_ENDING_TAG tokens

[Erik F. <eri...@un...>]

Hi Jimmy,

I am currently building a program using VTD that parses the XML document element-wise. That means that when a TOKEN_START_TAG token is encountered, a specific class is called that processes the current element. For this, the called class iterates over the tokens until it finds the end of the element. I thought I could just wait for a TOKEN_ENDING_TAG token and check if it matches the original TOKEN_START_TAG and the token depth of the start token. However, it seams that absolutely no token is of type TOKEN_ENDING_TAG in the whole document. My code:

for (int i = vn.getCurrentIndex(); i < vn.getTokenCount(); i++) {
			System.out.println(i);
			if (vn.getTokenType(i) == VTDNav.TOKEN_ENDING_TAG)
			{
				System.out.println("Ending token found!");
				System.out.println(vn.toString(i));
				break;
			}
		}


This code never prints out the “Ending token found!” line. It just counts through all tokens up to vn.getTokenCount().

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!

Best regards,

Erik
