I created some code that writes a map to XML. It appears to be working but the file is printed with no new lines. So in any XML editor its only on one line. How can I have it print to a new line for each child?
DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = db.newDocument();
Element vdata = doc.createElement("vouchdata");
doc.appendChild(vdata);
for (Entry<String, String> entry : vouchMap.entrySet()) {
Element udata = doc.createElement("vouch");
Attr vouchee = doc.createAttribute("name");
vouchee.setValue(entry.getKey());
udata.setAttributeNode(vouchee);
Attr voucher = doc.createAttribute("vouchedBy");
voucher.setValue(entry.getValue());
udata.setAttributeNode(voucher);
vdata.appendChild(udata);
}
// write the content into xml file
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File("vouchdata.xml"));
// Output to console for testing
// StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
transformer.transform(source, result);
If it is formatting of generated xml then consider the answer for
Java: Writing a DOM to an XML file (formatting issues)
I use
Which seems to work just fine.
