Method

StringasString(Element elt)
as String 
TransformerFactory transfac = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
try {
    Transformer trans = transfac.newTransformer();
    trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
    trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
    trans.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "4");
    StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(sw);
...
StringasString(Node node)
as String 
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
try {
    Transformer trans = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "no");
    trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.VERSION, "1.0");
    if (!(node instanceof Document)) {
        trans.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
    trans.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(writer));
} catch (final TransformerConfigurationException ex) {
    throw new IllegalStateException(ex);
} catch (final TransformerException ex) {
    throw new IllegalArgumentException(ex);
return writer.toString();
StringasString(Node node)
Format and return the string representation of the specified node and it's children 
TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
try {
    factory.setAttribute("indent-number", 4);
} catch (Throwable t) {
Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
...
StringasString(Node node)
Creates a String out of a Node 
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(writer));
return writer.toString();
StringasString(XMLStreamReader xmlr)
as String 
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
transformer.transform(new StAXSource(xmlr), new StreamResult(stringWriter));
return stringWriter.toString();
StringasXML(Node node)
A helper method useful for debugging and logging which will convert the given DOM node into XML text 
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
StringWriter buffer = new StringWriter();
transformer.transform(new DOMSource(node), new StreamResult(buffer));
return buffer.toString();
StringasXmlString(Node node)
as Xml String 
final Source source = new DOMSource(node);
final StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
final Result result = new StreamResult(stringWriter);
final TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
try {
    final Transformer transformer = factory.newTransformer();
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
    transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
...
StringconvertToString(Node node)
convert To String 
return convertDocumentToString(convertToDocument(node));
StringconvertToString(Node node)
convert To String 
boolean withXMLDeclaration = true;
String result;
if (withXMLDeclaration) {
    Document document = node.getOwnerDocument();
    DOMImplementationLS domImplLS = (DOMImplementationLS) document.getImplementation();
    LSSerializer serializer = domImplLS.createLSSerializer();
    result = serializer.writeToString(node);
} else {
...
StringcreateXmlString(Node node)
create Xml String 
Transformer transformer;
try {
    transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); 
} catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e); 
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
StringWriter xml = new StringWriter();
