Hello Catharina! Perhaps here comes SAX in. In my opinion, though I'm not an expert, too, you can use the XMLFormatter interface to write the XML output (at least it does the character conversion XML needs. The advantage is that there is no need to hold the complete DOM tree in memory, since you write it part by part to the output file. See the SAXPrint sample for further information.
