How to get value of the attribute of the xml file using java

Question

I am getting following code in response in xml

<.........>
   <stsuuser:Attribute name="authorized" type="urn:ibm:names:ITFIM:oauth:response:decision">
         <stsuuser:Value>TRUE</stsuuser:Value>
   </stsuuser:Attribute>   
<.........>

Now how I can get <stsuuser:Value> is true or false using Java?

have a look at an XML parser. If you have a more specific question later ask again. — Henry, Feb 13 '15 at 09:54

There are quite literally dozens of libraries for Java that parse XML. But, I find JOOX by far the simplest to use. It lacks quite a few common features of other libraries, but unlike them, it's a joy to use. It provides you with a jQuery-like API (even has the $ function) and, in your case, you'd use it as follows:

import static org.joox.JOOX.$;
...
//Get the value of "authorized" attribute
$(...).xpath("//Attribute[@name='authorized']/Value").text();

The $ function will accepts a String, a file, a stream, a reader etc, so you can initialize with pretty much anything.
