Create XML File using DOM Parser

---

In this tutorials we going to see how to create the XML document using DOM parser
1. Create Project Called JavaXML.
2. Create package called com.javatutorialscorner.xml.dom under JavaXML.
3. Create Java class called CreateXMLFile.java under com.javatutorialscorner.xml.dom package.
CreateXMLFile.java

package com.javatutorialscorner.xml.dom;

import java.io.File;

import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerException;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

import org.w3c.dom.Attr;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class CreateXMLFile {

 /**
  * @param args
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  // TODO Auto-generated method stub

  try {
   DocumentBuilderFactory builderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory
     .newInstance();
   DocumentBuilder builder = builderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
   Document document = builder.newDocument();

   Element root = document.createElement("college");
   document.appendChild(root);

   Element student = document.createElement("student");
   root.appendChild(student);

   Attr attr = document.createAttribute("id");
   attr.setValue("ECE-01");
   student.setAttributeNode(attr);

   Element firsrName = document.createElement("firstname");
   firsrName.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Sathish"));
   student.appendChild(firsrName);

   Element lastName = document.createElement("lastname");
   lastName.appendChild(document.createTextNode("J"));
   student.appendChild(lastName);

   TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
   Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
   DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(document);
   StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(new File(
     "C:\\jtc\\student.xml"));
   transformer.transform(domSource, streamResult);

  } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  } catch (TransformerException e) {
   // TODO Auto-generated catch block
   e.printStackTrace();
  }

 }

}

Now you can run the program see the XML file created at specified location.

student.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<college>
<student id="ECE-01">
<firstname>Sathish</firstname>
<lastname>J</lastname>
</student>
</college>
