I have xml-file. I need to read it, make some changes and write new changed version to some new destination.
I managed to read, parse and patch this file (with DocumentBuilderFactory, DocumentBuilder, Document and so on).
But I cannot find a way how to save that file. Is there a way to get it's plain text view (as String) or any better way?

DOM parser parses the entire XML file and creates a DOM object in the memory. It models an XML file in a tree structure for easy traversal and manipulation. In DOM everything in an XML file is a node. The node represents a component of an XML file.
In short the basic steps one has to take in order to create an XML File withe a DOM Parser are: Create a DocumentBuilder instance. Create a Document from the above DocumentBuilder . Create the elements you want using the Element class and its appendChild method.
Android DOM(Document Object Model) parser is a program that parses an XML document and extracts the required information from it. This parser uses an object-based approach for creating and parsing the XML files. In General, a DOM parser loads the XML file into the Android memory to parse the XML document.
Something like this works:
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); Result output = new StreamResult(new File("output.xml")); Source input = new DOMSource(myDocument); transformer.transform(input, output); That will work, provided you're using xerces-j:
public void serialise(org.w3c.dom.Document document) { java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream data = new java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream(); java.io.PrintStream ps = new java.io.PrintStream(data); org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat of = new org.apache.xml.serialize.OutputFormat("XML", "ISO-8859-1", true); of.setIndent(1); of.setIndenting(true); org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer serializer = new org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer(ps, of); // As a DOM Serializer serializer.asDOMSerializer(); serializer.serialize(document); return data.toString(); } If you love us?
