Hi,
I create the XML with DOM and save it to a file. But when I open such
file with Notepad, for instance, I see the XML file in one line - it
is not formatted/aligned. If I open it with IExplorer it looks fine.
I am looking for the way to save XML to a file so that XML would be
formatted.
The save code:
-------------------
doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
DOMSource ds = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult sr = new StreamResult(out);
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
trans.transform(ds, sr);
Thanks,
Pavel
