Method

StringgetXML(Document doc)
transform the Document into a String 
try {
    DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(doc);
    TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer();
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "xml");
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");
    transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
...
StringgetXml(Document doc)
get Xml 
try {
    Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
    DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
    transformer.transform(source, result);
    String xmlString = result.getWriter().toString();
    return xmlString;
...
StringgetXML(Document pDocument)
returns an XML string. 
String retString = null;
try {
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    Transformer serializer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
    serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
    serializer.transform(new DOMSource(pDocument), new StreamResult(out));
    retString = out.toString();
    out.close();
...
byte[]toByteArray(final Document document)
To byte array. 
if (document == null) {
    return null;
try {
    final String string = XML_HEADER_UTF8 + toString(document);
    return string.getBytes("utf-8");
} catch (final Exception e) {
    throw new RuntimeException(e);

voidtoStream(Document document, OutputStream stream)
Saves an XML Document into a stream. 
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
Source input = new DOMSource(document);
Result output = new StreamResult(stream);
transformer.transform(input, output);
StringtoString(Document d)
to String 
DOMImplementationLS domImplementation = (DOMImplementationLS) d.getImplementation();
LSSerializer lsSerializer = domImplementation.createLSSerializer();
return lsSerializer.writeToString(d);
StringtoString(Document doc)
This method is used to convert a Document object into an XML String. 
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
try {
    ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(output);
    transformer.transform(source, result);
    return new String(output.toByteArray(), "UTF-8");
} catch (Exception e) {
...
StringtoString(Document doc)
print document to string 
Transformer tf = tff.newTransformer();
StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
tf.transform(new DOMSource(doc), new StreamResult(writer));
String output = writer.getBuffer().toString();
return output;
StringtoString(Document doc)
Transform a XML Document to String 
try {
    DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(doc);
    StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
    StreamResult result = new StreamResult(writer);
    TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
    Transformer transformer = tf.newTransformer();
    transformer.transform(domSource, result);
    return writer.toString();
