Method

StringdocumentToString(Document document)
Uses a TransformerFactory with an identity transformation to convert a Document into a String representation of the XML. 
String xml = null;
try {
    DOMSource dom = new DOMSource(document);
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    StreamResult output = new StreamResult(writer);
    TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, INDENT_XML);
...
StringdocumentToString(Document document)
document To String 
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer;
try {
    transformer = tf.newTransformer();
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
...
StringdocumentToString(Document document)
document To String 
try {
    Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    trans.transform(new DOMSource(document), new StreamResult(sw));
    return sw.toString();
} catch (TransformerException tEx) {
    tEx.printStackTrace();
return null;
StringdocumentToString(Document document)
document To String 
try {
    TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer trans = tf.newTransformer();
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    trans.transform(new DOMSource(document), new StreamResult(sw));
    return sw.toString();
} catch (TransformerException tEx) {
    tEx.printStackTrace();
...
StringdocumentToString(Document document)
document To String 
return documentToString(document, true);
StringdocumentToString(Document document, boolean pretty)
Convert the given Document to an XML String. 
if (document == null) {
    return "";
return nodeToString(document.getFirstChild(), pretty);
StringdocumentToString(Document document, boolean standalone)
document To String 
String prol = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\" standalone=\"" + (standalone ? "yes" : "no")
        + "\"?>";
return prol + nodeToString(document.getDocumentElement(), new HashSet(),
        document.getDocumentElement().getNamespaceURI());
StringdocumentToString(Document document, Transformer documentTransformer)
Converts a document object to an xml string 
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
documentTransformer.transform(source, result);
return sw.toString();
StringDocumentToString(Document dom)
Parses org.w3c.dom.Document and returns its xml serialization as String 
String xmlString = null;
try {
    Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
    DOMSource source = new DOMSource(dom);
    transformer.transform(source, result);
    xmlString = result.getWriter().toString();
...
StringdocumentToString(final Node node)
Converts the given document to string format by passing it through a transformer. 
final TransformerFactory transformerFactory;
final Transformer transformer;
final DOMSource source;
final StreamResult result;
final StringWriter writer;
writer = new StringWriter(BUFFER_CAPACITY);
transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
