I need to build an org.w3c.dom.Document object programmatically and I thought,
given its name, groovy.xml.DOMBuilder might be useful. However, the DOMBuilder
class does not appear to be a “builder” in the same sense that MarkupBuilder
is. That is,
Document document = aDocumentBuilder.newDocument()
new DOMBuilder(document).root {
parent {
child ‘text’
child ‘more text’
}
}
does not seem to build a Document. Am I missing something or does DOMBuilder
not do what I want? Writing my only little builder isn’t a problem, but I
don’t want to reinvent the wheel.
Note: I am trying to avoid building an XML string and parsing that into a DOM
object as I am already parsing other data (JSON) and I want to avoid
JSON->XML->DOM, I would prefer PARSER_EVENTS -> DOM
Cheers,
Keith
