<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ecomexpress-objects version="1.0"><object pk="1" model="awb">
    <field type="BigIntegerField" name="awb_number">102019265</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="orderid">8008444</field>

    <field type="CharField" name="status">Undelivered</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="tracking_status">Undelivered</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="reason_code">221 - Consignee Refused To Accept</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="reason_code_description">Consignee Refused To Accept</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="reason_code_number">221 </field>
    <field type="CharField" name="receiver"></field>
    <field type="CharField" name="expected_date" >15-Feb-2014</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="last_update_date" ></field>
    <field type="CharField" name="delivery_date" ></field>
    <field type="CharField" name="ref_awb" >703063993</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="rts_shipment" >0</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="system_delivery_update" ></field>
    <field type="CharField" name="rts_system_delivery_status" Undelivered</field>

    <field type="CharField" name="rts_last_update">22 Jan, 2014, 12:44 </field>

    <field type="CharField" name="city" >MUMBAI</field>
    <field type="CharField" name="state" >Maharashtra</field>
    <field name="scans">
</ecomexpress-objects>

If i try the following code to parse

    String xml=result.toString();
    try{
       DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
        InputSource is;
        is = new InputSource(new StringReader(xml));
        Document doc = db.parse(is);
        NodeList nodelist = doc.getChildNodes();
       }
      catch (SAXException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I get the following error.

    org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: expected: /field read: ecomexpress-objects (position:END_TAG </ecomexpress-objects>@1:1917 in java.io.StringReader@39978dff)

I need to store all field values in respective string variables

There are several errors in your xml :

No closing tag object .
Undelivered appears in attribute at : <field type="CharField" name="rts_system_delivery_status" Undelivered</field>
should be closed like <field name="scans"/>

As long as xml is invalid, you keep getting exceptions.

Your XML is not valid.

The tag <field name="scans"> is not closed.

This is the response from third party API. I have no control over it

@Sumi you can not use an XML Parser to parse an corrupted XML. Talk to the Provider that the issue will be fixed
