Write a DOM Document as Formatted XMLs file XMLWriter, SAXReader,
OutputFormat, Example.

This example shows us how to write a DOM Document as Formatted XMLs file.

In this Example we formatted the XML by using OutputFormat.
 
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import org.dom4j.Document;
import org.dom4j.DocumentException;
import org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter;
import org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat;
import org.dom4j.io.SAXReader;

public class XmlWriterReader {
    public static String CR = System.getProperty("line.separator");
    private XmlUtility() {
       
    }
   
    public static void writeDOM(Document doc, File file)
    throws IOException  {
        OutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(file);
        OutputFormat outformat = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
        outformat.setLineSeparator( CR );
        outformat.setNewLineAfterNTags(4);
        outformat.setNewlines(true);
        XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(out, outformat);
        writer.write(doc);
        writer.flush();
    }
   
    public static Document parseXml(File xmlFile){
        SAXReader reader = new SAXReader();
        Document document =null;
        try {
            document = reader.read (xmlFile);
        } catch (DocumentException e ){
        }
        return document;
    }
}
