How to create a XML object from String in Java

Question

I am trying to write a code that helps me to create a XML object  For example  I will give a string as input to a function and it will return me a XMLObject   XMLObject convertToXML String s       When I was searching on the net  generally I saw examples about creating XML documents  So all the things I saw about creating an XML and write on to a file and create the file  But I have done something like that   Document document   new Document    Element child   new Element  snmp    child addContent new Element  snmpType   setText  snmpget     child addContent new Element  IpAdress   setText  127 0 0 1     child addContent new Element  OID   setText  1 3 6 1 2 1 1 3 0     document setContent child     Do you think it is enough to create an XML object  and also can you please help me how to get data from XML  For example  how can I get the IpAdressfrom that XML   Thank you all a lot  EDIT 1  Actually now I thought that maybe it would be much easier for me to have a file like base xml  I will write all basic things into that for example    lt snmp gt   lt snmpType gt  lt snmpType gt   lt OID gt  lt  OID gt   lt  snmp gt    and then use this file to create a XML object  What do you think about that

If you can create a string xml you can easily transform it to the xml document object e.g. -

String xmlString = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?><a><b></b><c></c></a>";  

DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();  
DocumentBuilder builder;  
try {  
    builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();  
    Document document = builder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlString)));  
} catch (Exception e) {  
    e.printStackTrace();  
}

You can use the document object and xml parsing libraries or xpath to get back the ip address.
