Dom4j 生成以及格式化xml文件的样例

项目中遇到了读写xml文件的问题，下面贴上代码再逐一解释

Java代码

1. private void saveToXmlFile(ProcessInfo[] infos) 
2.         { 
3. 　           if (dom == null) 
4.             { 
5.                 loadProcessInfo(true); 
6.             } 
7.             XMLWriter writer = null; 
8.             try 
9.             { 
10.                OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint(); 
11.                writer = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(filepath), format); 
12.                if (dom != null) 
13.                { 
14.                    dom.clearContent(); 
15.                } 
16.                dom = DocumentHelper.createDocument(); 
17.                dom.setXMLEncoding("utf-8"); 
18.                 
19.                Element root = dom.addElement("processes"); 
20.                for (int i = 0; i < infos.length; i++) 
21.                { 
22.                    info2Element(root, infos[i]); 
23.                } 
24.                 
25.                writer.write(dom); 
26.                writer.flush(); 
27.            } 
28.            catch (IOException e) 
29.            { 
30.                log.error("存储XML文件出错", e); 
31.            } 
32.            finally 
33.            { 
34.                if (writer != null) 
35.                { 
36.                    try 
37.                    { 
38.                        writer.close(); 
39.                    } 
40.                    catch (IOException e) 
41.                    { 
42.                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block 
43.                        e.printStackTrace(); 
44.                    } 
45.                } 
46.            } 
47.             
48.             
49.        } 

 private void saveToXmlFile(ProcessInfo[] infos)
         {
 　           if (dom == null)
             {
                 loadProcessInfo(true);
             }
             XMLWriter writer = null;
             try
             {
                OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
                writer = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(filepath), format);
                if (dom != null)
                {
                    dom.clearContent();
                }
                dom = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
                dom.setXMLEncoding("utf-8");
                
　               Element root = dom.addElement("processes");
                for (int i = 0; i < infos.length; i++)
                {
                    info2Element(root, infos[i]);
                }
                
                writer.write(dom);
                writer.flush();
            }
            catch (IOException e)
            {
                log.error("存储XML文件出错", e);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (writer != null)
                {
                    try
                    {
                        writer.close();
                    }
                    catch (IOException e)
                    {
                        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                }
            }
            
            
        }

创建xml 的主要类 DocumentHelper
见Line：16
dom = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
dom.setXMLEncoding("utf-8");
创建Document对象并设置编码
写入文件的主要类XMLWriter
格式化xml的辅助类OutputFormat
其创建过程参见Line 10
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
writer = new XMLWriter(new FileWriter(filepath), format);
然后Document创建根Element
info2Element()的方法则是将对象转换到Element结构中去。
格式化的主要功臣就是 OutputFormat  相应的还有createCompactFormat() 创建压缩的xml文件，删去了所有的换行等无用的字符。createPrettyPrint() 则是生成格式化的xml 代码，让看起来好读一点。
