Question

I have xml-file. I need to read it, make some changes and write new changed version to some new destination.

I managed to read, parse and patch this file (with DocumentBuilderFactory, DocumentBuilder, Document and so on).

But I cannot find a way how to save that file. Is there a way to get it’s plain text view (as String) or any better way?

Something like this works:

Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
Result output = new StreamResult(new File("output.xml"));
Source input = new DOMSource(myDocument);

transformer.transform(input, output);
