Is there a more elegant way to convert an XML Document to a String in Java than this code?

Question

Here is the code currently used.

public String getStringFromDoc(org.w3c.dom.Document doc)    {
        try
        {
           DOMSource domSource = new DOM         


        

Answer 1

You could use XOM to perhaps do this:

org.w3c.dom.Document domDocument = ...;
nu.xom.Document xomDocument = 
    nu.xom.converters.DOMConverter.convert(domDocument);
String xml = xomDocument.toXML();
