NEXT GENERATION ANDROID: XML PullParser

1.There are two key methods: next() and nextToken(). While next() provides access to high level
     parsing events, nextToken() allows access to lower level tokens.

2.The current event state of the parser can be determined by calling the getEventType()
    method.Initially, the parser is in the START_DOCUMENT state

3.The method next() advances the parser to the next event.

The following event types are seen by next()
START_TAG: An XML start tag was read.
TEXT: Text content was read; the text content can be retrieved using the getText() method.
END_TAG: An end tag was read

END_DOCUMENT: No more events are available

Example:
public class SimpleXmlPullApp
{

     public static void main (String args[])
         throws XmlPullParserException, IOException
     {
         XmlPullParserFactory factory = XmlPullParserFactory.newInstance();
         factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
         XmlPullParser xpp = factory.newPullParser();

         xpp.setInput( new StringReader ( "<foo>Hello World!</foo>" ) );
         int eventType = xpp.getEventType();
         while (eventType != XmlPullParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
          if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_DOCUMENT) {
              System.out.println("Start document");
          } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.START_TAG) {
              System.out.println("Start tag "+xpp.getName());
          } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.END_TAG) {
              System.out.println("End tag "+xpp.getName());
          } else if(eventType == XmlPullParser.TEXT) {
              System.out.println("Text "+xpp.getText());
          }
          eventType = xpp.next();
         }
         System.out.println("End document");
     }
}
