The issue is that the complete DOM model of the XML file I am writing can't
be loaded into memory at once. Or, put differently, I need to be able to
print as I read.
XmlWriter of course always prints complete trees, which results in the
following output if one attempts to print a document element by element
without keeping all elements in memory:
<root xmlns:xsi="...">
<element>...</element>
</root>
<root xmlns:xsi="...">
<element>...</element>
</root>
<root xmlns:xsi="...">
<element>...</element>
</root>
As a workaround one could manually print the root begin and end tags.
Unfortunately this strategy interferes with the proper placing of namespace
prefixes as well as the indentation:
<root>
<element xmlns:xsi="...">...</element>
<element xmlns:xsi="...">...</element>
<element xmlns:xsi="...">...</element>
</root>
This is what the output should look like:
<root xmlns:xsi="...">
<element>...</element>
<element>...</element>
<element>...</element>
</root>
Perhaps the proper solution would be to write the tree of each element to a
SAX content handler. Does anyone know where to find a pretty-printing SAX
handler? Seems like a rather basic thing, but I couldn't find anything...
