DOM with no indentation to DOM with indentation

[Pae Choi]

Say we have generated a DOM as follows:

<Parent><Child><Name>John
Doe</Name><Gender>Male</Gender></Child>><Child><Name>John
Doe</Name><Gender>Male</Gender></Child></Parent>

As you can there is Node.TEXT_NODE for indentation such as "\n", "\t", or so
other than values for <Name> and <Gender> elements.

My question is that if there is any utility available to convert the
above DOM to "the following DOM with indentation" as follows:

<Parent>
    <Child>
        <Name>John Doe</Name>
        <Gender>Male</Gender>
    </Child>
    <Child>
        <Name>Jane Doe</Name>
        <Gender>Female</Gender>
    </Child>
</Parent>

If there is a utility class something like:

import    org.w3c.dom.Document;

public class XMLUtil {

    /** Convert the non-indented DOM to an indented DOM */
    public Document covnertNonIndentedDOM2IndentedDOM(Document inboundXML) {
        Document outboundXML = null;

        // snip

        return outboundXML;
    }
}

will be nice to know. So it can be done by:

XMLUtil xmlUtil = new XMLUtil();
Document respXML = xmlUtil.covnertNonIndentedDOM2IndentedDOM(reqXML);

Any info on this subject are welcome and will be appreciated. Thank you.
