Create XML file using java

You can use a DOM XML parser to create an XML file using Java. A good example can be found on this site:

try {
    DocumentBuilderFactory docFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = docFactory.newDocumentBuilder();

    //root elements
    Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument();

    Element rootElement = doc.createElement("company");
    doc.appendChild(rootElement);

    //staff elements
    Element staff = doc.createElement("Staff");
    rootElement.appendChild(staff);

    //set attribute to staff element
    Attr attr = doc.createAttribute("id");
    attr.setValue("1");
    staff.setAttributeNode(attr);

    //shorten way
    //staff.setAttribute("id", "1");

    //firstname elements
    Element firstname = doc.createElement("firstname");
    firstname.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("yong"));
    staff.appendChild(firstname);

    //lastname elements
    Element lastname = doc.createElement("lastname");
    lastname.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("mook kim"));
    staff.appendChild(lastname);

    //nickname elements
    Element nickname = doc.createElement("nickname");
    nickname.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("mkyong"));
    staff.appendChild(nickname);

    //salary elements
    Element salary = doc.createElement("salary");
    salary.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("100000"));
    staff.appendChild(salary);

    //write the content into xml file
    TransformerFactory transformerFactory =  TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
    DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);

    StreamResult result =  new StreamResult(new File("C:\\testing.xml"));
    transformer.transform(source, result);

    System.out.println("Done");

}catch(ParserConfigurationException pce){
    pce.printStackTrace();
}catch(TransformerException tfe){
    tfe.printStackTrace();
}
