If you want to modify XML from Java code, use XercesJ DOM. You may have to adjust the settings to ensure all whitespace is preserved, but it shouldn't be a problem.

(There is a round-tripping issue with all solutions around entity references. Simplest workaround: don't use them in your XML source.)

Hi,

I need to implement a program that modifies an XML file, this file will
frequently also be edited by hand in a plain text editor. Of course, it's
important that the program does not remove or undo any of the hand-edited
changes (xml data, comments or whitespace). I have previously used Xerces
for reading XML.

What library can you recommend for editing/writing XML data? Can Xerces or
some addon do this? Is there another Apache project for this?

I would prefer an open source solution, if possible. Java is the language
of choice.
