Creating XML Tree
This Example shows you how to Create an XMLTree in a DOM document. JAXP (Java
API for XML Processing) is an interface which provides parsing of xml documents.
Here the Document BuilderFactory is used to create new DOM parsers. Here we use
"javax.xml.transform" package that defines the generic APIs to process transformation instructions,
also performs a transformation from
source to result. There are some of the methods used in code given below for
Creating an XML Tree:-
Element root = doc.createElement("Company"):-
This method creates an
Element Node. Here "Company" is the String that specifies the name of
the element node.
doc.appendChild(root):- This method adds a node after the last child node of
the specified node.
Text text = doc.createTextNode("Roseindia .Net"):-
This method
creates a Text Node. Here "Roseindia.Net" is the String that specifies
the text for the node.
Comment comment = doc.createComment("Employee in roseindia"):-
This
method creates a Comment Node. Here "Employee in roseindia" is the
String that specifies the comment for the node.
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance():-TransformerFactory
is a class that is used to create Transformer objects. A TransformerFactory
instance can be used to create Transformer and Templates objects.
transformer.transform(source, result):-This function organize data according
to a style sheet as we are retrieving it from the File.
File file = new File("newxml.xml"):-Creates a new File.
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new
FileOutputStream(file))):-BufferedWriter is used to write Text to the File.

// adding a text element to the child
Text text12 = doc.createTextNode("status");

//TransformerFactory instance is used to create Transformer objects.
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
// create string from xml tree
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
transformer.transform(source, result);
String xmlString = sw.toString();
File file = new File("newxml.xml");
BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter
(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file)));
bw.write(xmlString);
bw.flush();
bw.close();
// print xml
System.out.println("Xml file created is :\n"
+ xmlString);
}
}

Output of the program
Xml file created is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<Company>
<Location>
<Companyname>Roseindia .Net</Companyname>
<!--Employee in roseindia-->
<Employee>Girish Tewari</Employee>
</Location>
<Id name="Girish">status</Id>
</Company>
