try {
File bookXml = new File("C:\\bookstore.xml");

DocumentBuilderFactory docBuildFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

Document doc = docBuilder.parse(bookXml);
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();

System.out.println("Root element :" + doc.getDocumentElement().getNodeName());
NodeList nodeList = doc.getElementsByTagName("book");
System.out.println("-----------------------\n");

for (int temp = 0; temp < nodeList.getLength(); temp++) {

  Node nodeNode = nodeList.item(temp);
  if (nodeNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {

     Element eElement = (Element) nodeNode;

     System.out.println("Title : " + getTagValue("title", eElement));
     System.out.println("Author : " + getTagValue("author", eElement));
         System.out.println("Year : " + getTagValue("year", eElement));
     System.out.println("Price : " + getTagValue("price", eElement));
     System.out.println("\n\n");
  }
}
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (SAXException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}

}
private static String getTagValue(String strTag, Element eElement) {
NodeList nodeList = eElement.getElementsByTagName(strTag).item(0).getChildNodes();

   Node nodeValue = (Node) nodeList.item(0);

return nodeValue.getNodeValue();
 }
}
