How to create XML document using java

If you have already worked with some other scripting language or programming language in a document object then this will not be new to you.

To work with an XML document it is easy to do so, if you have a document object in place and the XML document loaded in it. Yes, java too has APIs for working with an XML document. With this API, you can navigate through the XML document, or create an XML document from the scratch.

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

DocumentBuilderFactory fact = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder bd = fact.newDocumentBuilder();
doc = bd.newDocument();
Element rt = (Element) doc.createElement("rtElement");
document.appendChild(root);
rt.appendChild( doc.createTextNode("Some") );
. . .
. . .

Proper imports are to be done to work with the classes and the methods needed for working with an XML document. The above code sample would give you an idea on how to go about it. Methods like createElement of the Element object are used to create elements.

And these elements are added to the root node using the method appendChild. Lots of sample codes are available in the internet on this topic.
