Thanks alot Elliot for your response. i agree that the question of writing a JDOM parser was misphrased. I had some confusions as i am in the learning phase. Now i understand that:

 

JDOM is not a parser. It is an XML document representation in Java. It relies on a parser (Xerces by default) for reading raw XML.

 

I have written a very simple and basic XML parser which takes care of some of the XML grammar for well-formedness. It gives the parsing result or error message on command prompt.

 

[1] How can i modify it to be used as a parser to build a JDOM document. I mean how can I use it instead of Xerces in JDOM based parsing.

 

[2] What would be the difference if my parser is used instead of Xerces or any other sophisticated parser.
