JAXP API using DOM Parser

used to append the element to the DOM document.

//create the root element
Element root = doc.createElement(“root”);
//all it to the xml tree
doc.appendChild(root);

(2) Adding Comment Element to DOM Tree

The doc.createComment method is used to reate Comment object.

//create a comment
Comment comment =
doc.createComment(“This is comment”);
//add in the root element
root.appendChild(comment);

(3) Adding Child Element to DOM Tree

The doc.createElement method is used to create Child element.

 

//create child element
Element childElement =
doc.createElement(“Child”);
//Add the atribute to the child
childElement.setAttribute(“attribute1”,”The
value of Attribute 1");
root.appendChild(childElement);

(4) Printing the DOM Tree on console

An finally we will print the DOM tree on the console with the following code:

TransformerFactory tranFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer aTransformer =
tranFactory.newTransformer();
Source src = new DOMSource(doc);
Result dest = new
StreamResult(System.out);
aTransformer.transform(src, dest);

 

Here is the full source code of CreateDomXml.java

import org.w3c.dom.*;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import
javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
class CreateDomXml
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
try{
//Create instance of
DocumentBuilderFactory
DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
//Get the DocumentBuilder
DocumentBuilder docBuilder =
factory.newDocumentBuilder();
//Create blank DOM Document
Document doc =
docBuilder.newDocument();
//create the root element
Element root =
doc.createElement(“root”);
//add it to the xml tree
doc.appendChild(root);
//create a comment
Comment comment =
doc.createComment(“This is comment”);
//add in the root element
root.appendChild(comment);
//create child element
Element childElement =
doc.createElement(“Child”);
//Add the atribute to the child
childElement.setAttribute(“attribute1”,”The
value of Attribute 1");
root.appendChild(childElement);
TransformerFactory tranFactory =
TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer aTransformer =
tranFactory.newTransformer();
Source src = new DOMSource(doc);
Result dest = new
StreamResult(System.out);
