If you want a "standard" way to do it, I'd recommend using JAXB since it's part of Java SE 6.

First, create an xsd schema for your xml files. Then use the command line xjc tool found in Java SDK. This will generate Java JAXB classes according to your schema.

Afterwards, read on how to use JAXB to painlessly obtain elements you need from your XML file. A nice and simple tutorial can be found here.

use DOM parser . Here is the link that best fits you How to read XML file in Java

There are many libraries like dom4j, jdom, xtream etc available for reading and manipulating xml data. I found dom4j very easy.

VTD-XML is the XML API that combines a number of benefits (perforamnce, memory usage and ease of use).
