output method, only the text in CharacterData nodes are written
out. Comments are also written out since they are CharacterData

// Create a document; this method is implemented in // e510 The Quintessential Program to Create a DOM Document from an XML File Document doc = parseXmlFile("infilename.xml", false); try { // Create a transformer Transformer xformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer(); // Set the public and system id xformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD, "text"); // Write the DOM document to a file Source source = new DOMSource(doc); Result result = new StreamResult(new File("outfilename.xml")); xformer.transform(source, result); } catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) { } catch (TransformerException e) { }This is the sample input for the example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <root> <!-- comment --> <?target instructions?> <elem1 attr="attrValue"> cat < <elem2> dog </elem2> rat </elem1> <![CDATA[cat < dog > rat]]> </root>The resulting output from running the example is: <!-- comment --> cat < dog rat cat < dog > rat
