Convert the string content into an XMLStreamReader

Question

Hi I would like to know how we can convert the string content which is in the form of XML tag and I need to convert it into XMLStreamReader

Answer 1

You can use XMLInputFactory.createXMLStreamReader, passing in a StringReader to wrap your string.

String text = "<foo>This is some XML</foo>";
Reader reader = new StringReader(text);
XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance(); // Or newFactory()
XMLStreamReader xmlReader = factory.createXMLStreamReader(reader);
