How to - Parse XML data

[soodvarun]

I have bunch of XML files and I want to develop a keyword based search engine which parses those XML files.

Anyone has any idea which is the best way to do the job? I mean on Linux? Should I use PHP? JAVA? Python??

Please let me know. I am very new to everything in this domain.

Thanks Varun

Whether to use PHP, Python, or Java is in my opinion really moot. All of those languages should be more than adequate for the task.

for handling XML you will use parsers.
What parser do you like, is another question. What is the programming language doesn't matter. Python provide interface for two parsers, if I'm right these are libxml and extpat. Also you could use msxml if you are under windows. The best known opensource parsers has interface for python, so you could install them into your library.
