Writing Only the Text of a DOM Document
One of the three output methods of a transformer is text. With this
output method, only the text in CharacterData nodes are written
out. Comments are also written out since they are CharacterData
nodes. To remove the comments, see Removing a Node from a DOM Document.
This is the sample input for the example:
The resulting output from running the example is:
// Create a document; this method is implemented in
// The Quintessential Program to Create a DOM Document from an XML File
Document doc = parseXmlFile("infilename.xml", false);
try {
// Create a transformer
Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
// Set the public and system id
xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "text");
// Write the DOM document to a file
Source source = new DOMSource(doc);
Result result = new StreamResult(new File("outfilename.xml"));
xformer.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
} catch (TransformerException e) {
}
