How To Modify XML File In Java – (DOM Parser)


In this example, we demonstrate the use of DOM parser to modify an existing XML file :
  1. Add a new element

  2. Update existing element attribute

  3. Update existing element value

  4. Delete existing element

1. XML file

See before and after XML file.

File : file.xml – Original XML file.

<!--?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>

Later, update above XML file via DOM XML Parser.
  1. Update the staff attribute id = 2

  2. Update salary value to 200000

  3. Append a new “age” element under staff

  4. Delete “firstname” element under staff
File : file.xml – Newly modified XML file.

2. DOM Parser

DOM XML parser to update an above XML file.

// Node staff = company.getFirstChild();

// Get the staff element by tag name directly
Node staff = doc.getElementsByTagName("staff").item(0);

// update staff attribute
NamedNodeMap attr = staff.getAttributes();
Node nodeAttr = attr.getNamedItem("id");
nodeAttr.setTextContent("2");

// append a new node to staff
Element age = doc.createElement("age");
age.appendChild(doc.createTextNode("28"));
staff.appendChild(age);

// loop the staff child node
NodeList list = staff.getChildNodes();

for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++) {

Node node = list.item(i);

// get the salary element, and update the value
if ("salary".equals(node.getNodeName())) {
node.setTextContent("2000000");
}

//remove firstname
if ("firstname".equals(node.getNodeName())) {
staff.removeChild(node);
}

}

// write the content into xml file
TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File(filepath));
transformer.transform(source, result);

System.out.println("Done");
