String To Document

Yet another common question is how one parses a string of XML into a DOM Document object. Here's a method that does just that:



import java.io.*;

import javax.xml.parsers.*;

import org.w3c.dom.*;

import org.xml.sax.*;



public class Util {



    public static Document stringToDom(String xmlSource) 

            throws SAXException, ParserConfigurationException, IOException {

        DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();

        DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();

        return builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlSource)));

    }

}
