I’m having an xml which i parse and get the data from between the nodes. However this data is surrounded by html tags. i create another xml and put this data in it. Now i have to get parse it again to get the proper html syntax.
Kindly help.
public class XMLfunctions {
public final static Document XMLfromString(String xml){
Document doc = null;
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
try {
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setCharacterStream(new StringReader(xml));
doc = db.parse(is);
} catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
System.out.println("XML parse error: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
} catch (SAXException e) {
System.out.println("Wrong XML file structure: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("I/O exeption: " + e.getMessage());
return null;
}
return doc;
}

Sample xml which i get after converting from jsoup
<results count="1">
<result>
<news>
<ul><li><p>as part of its growth plan,</p></li><li><p>in a bid to achieve the target</p></li><li><p>it is pointed out that most of ccl's production came from opencast mines and only 2 mt from underground (ug) mines. ccl is now trying to increase the share underground production. the board of ccl has, thus, approved the introduction of continuous mine in chiru ug at a cost of about rs 145 crore to raise this mine's production from 2 mt to 8 mt per annum.</p></li><li><p>mr ritolia said that.</p></li></ul>
</news>
</result>
</results>
I want to extract the content between the news tags. This xml is fed to XMLfromString(String xml) function in XMLFunctions class which then returns only “<” and rest of the body is left.
I’m not able to get the body with html tags to provide formatting.
One option is to use XML CDATA section as:
Then your parser will not treat HTML tags as XML and allow you access to raw content of the element. The other option is to encode the HTML tags i.e. convert all
<into<,>into>,&into&etc. For more on encoding see here
