Adding an Attribute in DOM Document

This Example shows you how to adds an attribute 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. There are some of the methods used in code given below for adding attribute:-

getDocumentElement():- allows direct access to the root node of the document.

root.getAttribute("Id"):-allows to retrieve attributes on  Id.

root.setAttribute("Id", "05MC34"):-allows to set o5Mc34 on the Id

Xml code for the program generated is:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

  //boolean validating = false;

  DocumentBuilderFactory factory = 

   DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

  //factory.setValidating(validating);



  Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(

  new File("Document3.xml"));

  new Addingattribute().addAttribute(doc);

  }



  public void addAttribute(Document doc) {

  Element root = doc.getDocumentElement();

  System.out.print("Attributes of Id before Adding is: ");

  System.out.println(root.getAttribute("Id"));

  //Adds an attributes to the element ISBN

  root.setAttribute("Id", "05MC34");

  System.out.print("Attributes of Id after Adding is: ");

  System.out.println(root.getAttribute("Id"));

}

}

Output of the program:-

Attributes of Id before Adding is: Rose-78 Attributes of Id after Adding is: 05MC34
