Class DOMToXML

java.lang.Object
  xml.DOMToXML

public class DOMToXML
extends Object

Converts a DOM-document into an XML-stream. Additionally, but only useful for whitespce-stripped DOMs the addIndent(org.w3c.dom.Node) method can be used to add additional whitespace-nodes as seperators to element nodes. This is particularily useful if you want a easy-to-read output.

Field Summary

static int	DEFINDENT The default indentation (2).
private static Properties	output Properties of the output.
private static Transformer	serializer The transformer instance.
private static TransformerFactory	transform The transformer factory to transform a dom to a stream.

Constructor Summary

DOMToXML()

Method Summary

static Node	addIndent(Node source) Adds whitespce nodes as seperators between element nodes.
static Node	addIndent(Node source, int indent) Adds whitespce nodes as seperators between element nodes.
private static void	addWhitespaceNode(Document anchor, Element squeeze, int curindent, int indent) Recursively add whitespace nodes to elements found.
static Document	fillDefaults(Document raw, String dtd)
static void	main(String[] arg)
static void	setOutputProperties(Properties oprop) Defines properties for the output overruling the default values.
static void	setOutputProperty(String key, String value) Defines properties for the output overruling the default values.
static void	transform(Node doc, File out) Transforms a DOM node into an xml-file.
static void	transform(Node doc, OutputStream out) Transforms a DOM node into an xml-output stream.
static void	transform(Node doc, String out) Transforms a DOM node into an xml-URL.
static void	transform(Node doc, Writer out) Transforms a DOM node into an xml-writer.
