Hi,
I am using StAX XML stream writer to write the XML file. It writes all the data in a single line. I want all the tags to be indented instead of a single line.

EDIT: A quick example (without resource cleaning) using stax-utils (https://stax-utils.dev.java.net/):
XMLOutputFactory xmlOutputFactory = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
FileOutputStream file = new FileOutputStream("d:/file.xml");
XMLEventWriter writer = xmlOutputFactory.createXMLEventWriter(file);
writer = new IndentingXMLEventWriter(writer);
XMLEventFactory eventFactory = XMLEventFactory.newInstance();
writer.add(eventFactory.createStartDocument());
writer.add(eventFactory.createStartElement("", "", "a"));
writer.add(eventFactory.createStartElement("", "", "b"));
writer.add(eventFactory.createEndElement("", "", "b"));
writer.add(eventFactory.createEndElement("", "", "a"));
writer.add(eventFactory.createEndDocument());
This gives you:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<a>
<b></b>
</a>

@k_b: I did check that, can you give some example having the code snippet to pass my xml file and set the indent option. In the example provided at the above location, I am not able to understand how to set all this params.

A:
stax-utils (https://stax-utils.dev.java.net/) provides class IndentingXMLStreamWriter which does the job:
XMLStreamWriter writer =
XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter(...);
writer = new IndentingXMLStreamWriter(writer);
