Regenerating XML file

In this section, you will learn to get the elements and its value using DOM APIs.

Description of program:

This example parses a xml file and regenerates it at the console using the DOM APIs. This program takes a XML file and initially checks its availability . If file exists then it creates DocumentBuilderFactory. This object creates a DocumentBuilder which parses the XML document using the parse() method. It invokes the DocumentBuilder object and creates a Document object. Through this object you create DOM tree nodes by using the getDocumentElement() method and passes it to the DOMSource(). The DOMSource constructor creates a new input source with a DOM node. And the destination source (where you recieve the result) uses the StreamResult() constructor. Here the "System.out" shows the result on the console.

Here is the XML File: Employee-Detail.xml

<?xml version = "1.0" ?>
<Employee-Detail>

<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-001 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Vinod </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> [email protected] </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>

<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-002 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Amit </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> [email protected] </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>

<Employee>
<Emp_Id> E-003 </Emp_Id>
<Emp_Name> Deepak </Emp_Name>
<Emp_E-mail> [email protected] </Emp_E-mail>
</Employee>

</Employee-Detail>
