Preserve newlines when parsing xml

Question

I'm using the SAX xml parser to parse some xml data which contains newlines. When using Attributes#getValue, the newline data is lost. How can keep the newlines?

Answer 1

you can use this code when getting the String to parse:

  public void characters(char ch[], int start, int length) { 


      for(int i=start; i<length; i++)
      if(!Character.isISOControl(ch[i]))
          content.append(ch[i]);

  } 

Answer 2

The solution was to use 
 instead of \n
