        if (inTitle && title == null) { title = chars; }
        if (inDescription) { description.append(chars); }

    }


    public String getTitle() { return title; }
    public StringBuffer getDescription() { return description; }
    public String getDate() { return date; }


    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JavaParser parse=new JavaParser();
        parse.config();
        System.out.println(parse.getTitle());
    }

}

この XML ファイルを読み込んで Title の値を取得したいのですが、これは私が試していたコードですが、title に null 値を返していますそうしないと、MalformedByteSequenceException がスローされたためです。
