??? XML寫法比較簡單，而且非常便于人來閱讀。但是必須在客戶端和服務器端有XML的解析器才可以正常通信，由于初期的移動信息設備內存和處理器上的不足，所以在MIDP1.0中并沒有提供對XML的支持。隨著內存和處理器的提高，對XML的支持成為了可能。在JSR182中提供了XML的解析器，但是這并不是標準MIDP中的API需要特定的實現才可以支持。幸運的是有第三方的API對解析xml提供了支持，比較有名的是kxml和nanoxml。

??? 使用XML之前，你必須考慮好是不是必須用它來傳輸數據，因為解析xml是比較耗費資源的，尤其是在CPU和內存的資源都很寶貴的條件下。如果我們能使用DataInputStream和DataOutputStream傳輸的話就盡量不要使用XML。XML的解析器有兩種，一種是確認性的，他在解析之前會對xml的文檔進行有效性的驗證，確保這是應用程序需要的。另一種則是非確認性的，他不做驗證工作直接進行解析，無疑這樣的速度會快。kxml和nanoxml都是這樣的解析器。它們也存在差別，kxml是增量解析器他會一點一點的解析，這樣在解析大的文檔的時候會效率比較高。nanoxml是一步解析器，一次就把文檔解析完，如果文檔很大的話，這無疑會耗費很大的內存。要使用kxml你可以從http://www.kxml.org 下載得到,在http://nanoxml.sourceforge.net?你可以下載nanoxml。

??? 要使用kxml，你必須首先得到一個XmlParser實例，它用Reader作為構造器的參數：
try {
??? Reader??? r = .....;
??? XmlParser parser = new XmlParser( r );
}
catch( java.io.IOException e ){
??? // handle exception....
}

如果你的xml文檔存儲在String內的話你可以使用ByteArrayInputStream和InputStreamReader：
String??? xml = "<a>some xml</a>";
ByteArrayInputStream bin =
??????????? new ByteArrayInputStream( xml.getBytes() );
XmlParser parser = new XmlParser( new InputStreamReader( bin ) );
當從網上接收數據的時候可以這樣：
HttpConnection??? conn = .....;
InputStreamReader doc =
???????? new InputStreamReader( conn.openInputStream() );
XmlParser parser = new XmlParser( doc );
得到parser實例后我們就可以調用read方法進行解析了，read方法會返回一個ParseEvent,通過判斷他的類型我們就可以解析xml了。
try {
??? boolean keepParsing = true;
???????
??? while( keepParsing ){
??????? ParseEvent event = parser.read();
?
??????? switch( event.getType() ){
??????????? case Xml.START_TAG:
??????????????? ..... // handle start of an XML tag
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.END_TAG:
??????????????? ..... // handle end of an XML tag
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.TEXT:
??????????????? ..... // handle text within a tag
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.WHITESPACE:
??????????????? ..... // handle whitespace
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.COMMENT:
??????????????? ..... // handle comment
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION:
??????????????? ..... // handle XML PI
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.DOCTYPE:
??????????????? ..... // handle XML doctype
??????????????? break;
??????????? case Xml.END_DOCUMENT:
??????????????? ..... // end of document;
??????????????? keepParsing = false;
??????????????? break;
??????? }
??? }
}
catch( java.io.IOException e ){
}

如果想使用nanoxml，那么你首先要創建一個kXMLElement實例，然后調用parseFromReader、parseString或者parseCharArray。由于他是一步解析器，那么它會把整個文檔解析完后生成一個Object tree。每個節點都是一個kXMLElement的實例，通過調用getChildren等方法可以在這棵樹上導航。
HttpConnection??? conn = .....;
InputStreamReader doc =
???????? new InputStreamReader( conn.openInputStream() );
kXMLElement?????? root = new kXMLElement();

try {
??? root.parseFromReader( doc );
}
catch( kXMLParseException pe ){
}
catch( IOException ie ){
}

下面是一個J2ME的應用程序簡單演示了如何解析xml。如果有時間可以寫寫復雜的測試程序。你可以從如下地址下載源代碼：XMLTest. 里面包括了kxml和nanoxml的源代碼，如果想得到最新的源代碼請參考他們的官方網站，在本站提供了kxml的在線API
