This is a piece of my actual code. It’s rather self-explanatory.
public static String quote(String symbol) { try { java.net.URL url = new java.net.URL( "http://quotes.nasdaq.com/quote.dll?page=_xml&mode=stock&symbol=" + symbol); com.borland.xml.XmlData data = new com.borland.xml.XmlData(url).getKid("equity-quote"); return quote.getKidValue("trade-datetime") + " " + quote.getKidValue("last-sale-price")); } catch (Exception e) { return "(no data)"; } }
It uses my com.borland.xml package, which is also available here: http://www.juliafeld.com/vovap/PracticalXML/
