stax - get xml node as string

Question

xml looks like so:

   
      ...stuff...
   
   
              


        

Answer 1

I've been googling and this seems painfully difficult.

given my xml I think it might just be simpler to:

StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
for each line in file {
   buffer.append(line)
   if(line.equals(STMT_END_TAG)){
      parse(buffer.toString())
      buffer.delete(0,buffer.length)
   }
 }

 private void parse(String statement){
    //saxParser.parse( new InputSource( new StringReader( xmlText ) );
    // do stuff
    // save string
 }
