Inside XML

Creating a Windowed Browser

Converting the code we've written to display a document in a window isn't difficult because that code was purposely written to store the output in an array of strings; I can display those strings in a Java window. In this example, I'll upgrade that code to a new program, browser.java, which will use XML for Java to display XML documents in a window.
