Sample

Lots

to understand this code by going through it. Proper packages have to
be imported to work on the API's for XML processing. Imports would include,

Processing
XML includes loading of the XML document into a Document object. For
this you need to create a document object. This can done using,
DocumentBuilderFactory
fact = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder db = fact.newDocumentBuilder();
doc = db.newDocument();
Elements
can be created using createElement() method and text nodes can be added
to the elements using the createTextNode() method. Child nodes can be
added to the root node using the method appendChild().
There are
methods to add attributes, change a particular node, and to remove the
nodes. You can refer to the API for more of methods available. With
these you can do anything with the XML document. Classes and methods
to validate the XML document against a Schema is also available.
