DOM object from StringBuffer

[Anjali S Sharma]

I have an XML in StringBuffer, say

StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer()
sb.append("<tag1><tag2>33</tag2><tag2>33</tag2></tag1>");

Is it possible to create a DOM object from this StringBuffer so that I can iterate over the XML using the DOM object.

Yes. One way to do it could be :

String xml = "<tag1><tag2>33</tag2><tag2>33</tag2></tag1>";
DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder parser = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
Node document = parser.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xml)));
