How to convert string to xml

I have a string which contains XML data and I want to convert it to X开发者_开发知识库ML document object. How do I do that?

say theString holds the XML,

        DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        DocumentBuilder docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder();
        Document doc = docBuilder.parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(theString)));

All you have to do is pass the string to the LoadXml method of the XmlDocument class. Then, you can use XPath to get the values of the elements/attributes in the document.

You could use several libraries to do this.

If you have a schema file for the XML you could use JAXB to do this. If you have no schema file you better stick with libraries like JDOM or SAXON.
