Jaxb: Printing Xml with proper formatting

Posted on 05 July 2009

Ever wondered when we print xml, instead of printing it in single line can’t we print with proper formatting and indentation.  If you are using Jaxb then there is a  nice little trick in  to achieve that.


JAXBContext jc = JAXBContext.newInstance( "MyClass.class" );

Marshaller marshaller = jc.createMarshaller();

marshaller.setProperty( Marshaller.JAXB_FORMATTED_OUTPUT, Boolean.TRUE );

marshaller.marshal( <object_to_marshal>, System.out );

    Hi

    Thanks for the suggestion, however I’m facing an issue for some JAXBs it just prints the PI for XML not complete XML.

    Please suggest.

    Anish, I didn’t see your comment earlier. It seems like you haven’t annotated the class variables properly (most likely @XmlElement). Have a look at this tutorial for learning about Jaxb annotations https://jaxb.dev.java.net/tutorial/
