Adding a Text Node to a DOM Document
If any special characters appear in the text of a text node
(e.g., <>"), they are automatically converted to entities by the XML writers.
This is the sample input for the example:
The resulting XML from running the example is:
// Obtain an XML document; this method is implemented in
// The Quintessential Program to Create a DOM Document from an XML File
Document doc = parseXmlFile("infilename.xml", false);
// Add a CDATA section to the root element
Element element = doc.getDocumentElement();
Text text = doc.createTextNode("data\n");
element.appendChild(text);
// Special characters are automatically converted to entities by the XML writers
text = doc.createTextNode("<>&\"'");
element.appendChild(text);
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map>
<entry key="key1" value="value1" />
<entry key="key2" />
</map>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<map>
<entry key="key1" value="value1"/>
<entry key="key2"/>
data
<>&"'</map>
