XmlDocument.ImportNode() Example

完成的功能是从不同的Document复制Node到另一个Document的Node下

In this example, we are going to know how we can make a program to import a node from another document to the current document.

The importNode () method creates the duplicate of the node in the document from another document, including its data. The sub nodes of the source node are recursively imported and the resulting nodes make the corresponding sub tree. The default attributes are not copied from the source document .

The method importNode(Node importedNode, boolean deep) have two parameters,

Node- the node which is to be imported.

deep-  if true , performing deep clone on document,if false -copy only the imported node only not data or subnode.

The method importNode(Node importedNode, boolean deep) does not import the attribute values even on a deep clone. We try to import an element from hr.xml into orders.xml under the root.

hr.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                 
<hr>
     <person>
        <first>Kiran</first>
        <last>Pal</last>
        <age>22</age>
      </person>
 </hr>

orders.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
                    
<orders>
         <item>
           <name>blanket</name>
           <price>20</price>
           <qty>10</qty>
       </item>
 </orders>

importNodeExample.java

import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import org.w3c.dom.Text;
import javax.xml.parsers.*; 
import javax.xml.transform.*; 
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource; 
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult; 

class importNodeExample 
{
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    try{
   
    DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    DocumentBuilder docBuilder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document docA = docBuilder.parse("hr.xml");
    Document docB = docBuilder.parse("orders.xml");
    Element rootA = docA.getDocumentElement();
    Element rootB = docB.getDocumentElement();
      rootB.appendChild(docB.importNode(rootA,true));
    TransformerFactory tranFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); 
    Transformer aTransformer = tranFactory.newTransformer(); 
    Source src = new DOMSource(docB); 
    Result dest = new StreamResult(System.out); 
    aTransformer.transform(src, dest); 

        }catch(Exception e){
           System.out.println(e.getMessage());
         }
     }
}

Output of the program.
