How do I write a DOM document to a file?… here is a solution to the problem.
How do I write a DOM document to a file?
How do I write this document to my local file system?
public void docToFile(org.w3c.dom.Document document, URI path) throws Exception {
File file = new File(path);
}
Do I need to iterate over the document, or maybe there is a “to xml/html/string” method? I’m watching:
document.getXmlEncoding();
Not quite what I’m after—but something like that. Look for the String representation and write it to a file, such as :
Path file = ...;
byte[] buf = ...;
Files.write(file, buf);

Solution
I’ll use the converter class to convert the DOM content to an xml file like this:
Document doc =...
write the content into xml file
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(new File("/tmp/output.xml"));
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(writer);
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
transformer.transform(source, result);
I hope this works for you in the end!
