String as Document

Question

I'm following this turorial on parsing XML with XPath, and it gives the following example to open a document:

DocumentBuilderFactory domFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
domFactory.setNamespaceAware(true); // never forget this!
DocumentBuilder builder = domFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = builder.parse("books.xml");

What I would like to do, is change that so that the Document is reading a String variable that I already have made, instead of reading from a file. How can I do that?

Answer 1

builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<some><xml></xml></some>")));
