I'm using org.w3c XML API to open an existing XML file. I'm removing some nodes , and I'm adding others instead . The problem is that the new nodes that are added are written one after another , with no newline and no indentation what so ever. While it's true that the XML file is valid , it is very hard for a human to examnine it. Is there anyway to add indentation , or at least a newline after each node ?

A:
I'm assuming that you're using a Transformer to do the actual writing (to a StreamResult). In which case, do this before you call transform:
transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");

Glad to be of help!

BTW: in latest jdk there is a bug to get around this you will need to do before: TransformerFactory tFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance(); tFactory.setAttribute("indent-number", 2);

Thanx Chris. I think the important part is the Line
tFactory.setAttribute("indent-number", 2);
Took me some time till I found your answer right here. Bug seems to be quite resistant. My Java Version: java.version=1.6.0_20
