C# XML文件操作总结 SAX DOM 解析
去年写过一篇关于C# XML文件操作的两种方式，但是没有给出样例代码，这里再次给出两种操作XML文件的方式，并且包含部分样例代码。
以下两种XML操作方式，不仅只是适合C# 语言进行开发，其实语言也都适用。

1. 解析类型介绍
XML的解析器主要有DOM和SAX两种。
先简要介绍SAX解析器（Simple API for XML）,其实解析器就是对XML进行处理的一套API，相当于一个模块。
SAX解析器是基于事件处理的，需要从头到尾把XML文档扫描一遍，在扫描的过程中，每次遇到一个语法结构时，就会调用这个特定语法结构的事件处理程序，向应用程序发送一个事件。
XmlReader的类提供了一种非常迅速、只向前的只读光标来处理XML数据，因为它是一个流模型，所以内存要求不是很高。但是，没有提供DOM模型的导航功能和读写功能。
DOM是文档对象模型解析，构建文档的分层语法结构，在内存中建立DOM树，DOM树的节点以对象的形式来标识，文档解析文成以后，文档的整个DOM树都会放在内存中。
DOM的优点：
1. 当文档的某一部分被多次的访问时，非常方便。
2. 需要对文档进行调整或者一次性的访问整个文档。
3. DOM可以随时的访问文档中的某个部分。
4. 可以避免一些无效的操作。
DOM结构是完全的存储在内存中的，所以如果文档较大的话，会占用大量的内存。
因为XML文档没有大小限制，所以一些文档可能就不能以DOM方式读取，SAX解析则不存在这样的问题，并且SAX解析的速度要比DOM快一些。
2. SAX解析方式
在C#中，使用SAX进行解析的类为XmlReader, XmlWriter，这两个类都是抽象类，由具体的子类来实现相关的功能。
具体的子类： XmlTextReader, XmlTextWriter

可以看到在构造函数中的Read（）函数，在左侧的列表中，首先读取<?xml>这个开始元素，然后获得了当前结点两个属性，接下来读入第一行的回车，判断回车的属性个数为0个，接下来是注释，属性0个，然后是注释的换行符，属性0个，接下来的就比较理解了。
上面的程序中还给出了通过XmlWriter写入Xml数据的方式，XmlWriter提供了只向前的、未缓存的方式进行写入。一定要注意写入的要相匹配，写入一个开始元素，一定要在适当的位置写入结束元素。
private void button5_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); // 去掉注释 XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings(); settings.IgnoreComments = true; XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create("book.xml"); doc.Load(reader); // 获取根节点 XmlNode root = doc.DocumentElement; XmlNode tofind = root.SelectSingleNode("//book[@publicationdate='" + textBox1.Text.Trim() + "']"); MessageBox.Show(tofind.Name); }
