StAX XML formatting in Java

Question

Is it possible using StAX (specifically woodstox) to format the output xml with newlines and tabs, i.e. in the form:

  
   someData
  &         


        

Answer 1

If you're using the StAX cursor API, you can indent the output by wrapping the XMLStreamWriter in an indenting proxy. I tried this in my own project and it worked nicely.
