XML processor having function for filtering tree path, method for filtering tree path and recording medium storing a program to implement thereof

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for parsing a MultiPhotoVideo or MusicPhotoVideo (MPV) file (101) in a multimedia application environment, and a storage medium (100) having recorded thereon a computer readable program for performing the method. The method includes: detecting assets (307 - 309) and/or elements and/or metadata (302) included in an MPV file (101); forming tree-based data, which has a tree-like structure, corresponding to the MPV file (101) based on correlations between the detected assets (307 - 309) and/or elements and/or metadata (302); storing the formed tree-based data; and parsing the MPV file (101) using the stored tree-based data. Accordingly, even if the MPV file (101) has a complicated format, an MPV parser (113) can easily parse the MPV file (103).
