9.34.18.Store properties as XML filePrevious/Next
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] argsthrows Exception {
    Properties properties = new Properties();
    properties.setProperty("database.type""mysql");
    properties.setProperty("database.url""jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb");
    properties.setProperty("database.username""root");
    properties.setProperty("database.password""root");

    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("database-configuration.xml");
    properties.storeToXML(fos, "Database Configuration""UTF-8");
  }
}
 
 

The saved XML file will look like the properties file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
  <properties>
    <comment>Database Configuration</comment>
    <entry key="database.password">root</entry>
    <entry key="database.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb</entry>
    <entry key="database.type">mysql</entry>
    <entry key="database.username">root</entry>
  </properties
