org.w3c.dom.Node 轉換成xml string

/**

	 * @return a XML String from node

	public static String NodetoString(Node node) {
		Transformer transformer = null;
		String result = null;
		if (node == null) {
			throw new IllegalArgumentException();

		try {
			transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();

若傳入的Node 屬性查出來的值，調用該方法隻能得到

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>和屬性值

Node 有個方法getOwnerDocument()可以獲得到Document對象，也可以把Node轉換成String(但是該得到的是所有節點的内容，而不是單個你想要檢視節點的内容)

public static String toString(Document doc)
			throws TransformerFactoryConfigurationError, TransformerException {
		DOMSource source = new DOMSource(doc);
		StringWriter writer = new StringWriter();
		Result result = new StreamResult(writer);
		Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance()
				.newTransformer();
		transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
		transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.CDATA_SECTION_ELEMENTS, "yes");
		transformer.setOutputProperty(
				"{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");
		transformer.transform(source, result);
		String string = (writer.getBuffer().toString());
		System.out.print(string);
		return string;
