We have already studied about :<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is DOM and its structure<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. JAXP for DOM Parsers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We will create a XML file using DOM parser and Transformation APIs in this article.<\/p>\n

    Note : <\/strong>The XML document can also be saved on local disc by serializing xml document first and then saving. But the serialization implementation differs for different APIS. So the best practice is using implementation independent method of saving xml document.
