Java DOMSerializer-class And Method Code Example
Here is an example of how to use the DOMSerializer class in the com.fasterxml.jackson.databind package to serialize a Java object into a W3C DOM Document:
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;
import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.XmlMapper;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
public class Example {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
Person person = new Person("John Doe", 30);
ObjectMapper mapper = new XmlMapper();
Document doc = mapper.writeValueAsDocument(person);
// Use the DOM Document as needed, for example, to print the XML
System.out.println(doc.getTextContent());
}
}
class Person {
private String name;
private int age;
public Person(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
// getters and setters
}
In this example, the XmlMapper class is used to create an instance of the mapper, and the writeValueAsDocument() method is used to serialize the Person object into a Document object.
Note that the writeValueAsDocument() method is a convenience method that wraps the writeValue() method and returns the result as a Document object.
Also, you can use the writeValue() method that accepts a Result parameter, and you can use a DOMResult object to store the result in a Document object:
DOMResult result = new DOMResult();
mapper.writeValue(result, person);
Document doc = (Document)result.getNode();
It's important to notice that this is a basic example and the output format might not be exactly the way you want it. You may need to configure the mapper according to your specific needs.
