Java Utililty Methods XML Node Serialize

ContentHandler getSerializer(final File file)
Get a serializer to write XML to a file.

final Writer writer = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file), "UTF-8");
final TransformerHandler transformerHandler = FACTORY.newTransformerHandler();
final Transformer transformer = transformerHandler.getTransformer();
final Properties format = new Properties();
format.put(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
format.put(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "no");
format.put(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
format.put(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
...

String serialise(Node node)
Serialises the XML node into a string.

try {
 DOMImplementationRegistry registry = DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance();
 DOMImplementationLS lsImpl = (DOMImplementationLS) registry.getDOMImplementation("LS");
 LSSerializer serializer = lsImpl.createLSSerializer();
 return serializer.writeToString(node);
} catch (Exception e) {
 log.fine("could not serialise XML node: " + e);
 return "";
...

byte[] serialiseBytes(Node n)
serialise Bytes

ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(1024);
serialise(n, bos);
return bos.toByteArray();

String serialize(Element e, boolean omitXMLDeclaration)
Serialize an XML Element into a String.

if (e != null) {
 try {
 DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(e);
 Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
 serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION,
 ((omitXMLDeclaration) ? "yes" : "no"));
 serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
 serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, UTF8_ENCODING);
...

String serialize(Node doc)
serialize

StringWriter outText = new StringWriter();
serialize(new DOMSource(doc), outText);
return outText.toString();

void serialize(Node n, StreamResult sr)
serialize

TransformerHandler hd = newTransformerHandler();
Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(n);
serializer.transform(source, sr);

String serialize(Node node)
serialize

StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
try {
 TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
 transformer.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(writer));
} catch (javax.xml.transform.TransformerException caught) {
 throw new Error(caught);
return writer.toString();

String serialize(Node node)
serialize

try {
 TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
 Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer();
 transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
 Source source = new DOMSource(node);
 StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
 Result result = new StreamResult(sw);
 transformer.transform(source, result);
...

void serialize(Node node, File outdir, String fileName)
Serialize the supplied DOM node to the specified file in the specified output directory.

serialize(node, new StreamResult(new File(outdir, fileName)));

String serialize(NodeList nodeList)
Serialise the supplied W3C DOM subtree.

return serialize(nodeList, false);
