Getting nicely indented XML from XOM as a String is not intuitive. One might reasonably expect to try document.toXML() only to find the output lacking indentation.
Here’s how I used XOM’s Serializer and Java’s ByteArrayOutputStream to produce pretty XML.
1 2 3 4 5 | ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); Serializer serializer = new Serializer(out, "UTF-8"); serializer.setIndent(2); serializer.write(document); String xml = out.toString("UTF-8"); |
