Most Java parsers offer some such functionality, though details vary. For example, you could use a SAX parser and ignore DocumentHandler.element callbacks for the elements you're not concerned with. Sun's package, as well as others, support this. I think it's more typical that folk want to add special processing for specific tags, rather than ignore the others. In Sun's package you can define particular "XML Beans" to represent those tags, and customize processing in that way. To do that, you "register" element classes, which can have your custom code. Similar mechanisms exist in a number of other packages, and some standards will probably be forthcoming in this area. - Dave xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
