使用jdom2: http://www.jdom.org/

import java.io.StringReader;
import org.jdom2.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom2.output.Format;
import org.jdom2.output.XMLOutputter;

String prettyXml = new XMLOutputter(Format.getPrettyFormat()).
                         outputString(new SAXBuilder().build(new StringReader(uglyXml)));

这是我自己问题的答案。我将各种结果的答案结合起来，编写了一个输出XML的类。

不保证它如何响应无效的XML或大型文档。

凯文·哈肯森说: 但是，如果您知道您的XML字符串是有效的，并且您不想引起将字符串解析为DOM的内存开销，然后在DOM上运行转换以获得字符串—您可以通过字符解析进行一些老式的字符。在每个字符后插入换行符和空格，保持和缩进计数器(以确定空格的数量)，为每个<…>和递减你看到的每一个。”

同意了。这种方法要快得多，依赖关系也少得多。

示例解决方案:

我总是使用下面的函数:

public static String prettyPrintXml(String xmlStringToBeFormatted) {
    String formattedXmlString = null;
    try {
        DocumentBuilderFactory documentBuilderFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        documentBuilderFactory.setValidating(true);
        DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = documentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
        InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new StringReader(xmlStringToBeFormatted));
        Document document = documentBuilder.parse(inputSource);

        Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
        transformer.setOutputProperty("{http://xml.apache.org/xslt}indent-amount", "2");

        StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(new StringWriter());
        DOMSource dOMSource = new DOMSource(document);
        transformer.transform(dOMSource, streamResult);
        formattedXmlString = streamResult.getWriter().toString().trim();
    } catch (Exception ex) {
        StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
        ex.printStackTrace(new PrintWriter(sw));
        System.err.println(sw.toString());
    }
    return formattedXmlString;
}

试试这个:

 try
                    {
                        TransformerFactory transFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                        Transformer transformer = null;
                        transformer = transFactory.newTransformer();
                        StringWriter buffer = new StringWriter();
                        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes");
                        transformer.transform(new DOMSource(element),
                                  new StreamResult(buffer)); 
                        String str = buffer.toString();
                        System.out.println("XML INSIDE IS #########################################"+str);
                        return element;
                    }
                    catch (TransformerConfigurationException e)
                    {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }
                    catch (TransformerException e)
                    {
                        e.printStackTrace();
                    }

基于这个答案的一个更简单的解决方案:

public static String prettyFormat(String input, int indent) {
    try {
        Source xmlInput = new StreamSource(new StringReader(input));
        StringWriter stringWriter = new StringWriter();
        StreamResult xmlOutput = new StreamResult(stringWriter);
        TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        transformerFactory.setAttribute("indent-number", indent);
        transformerFactory.setAttribute(XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD, "");
        transformerFactory.setAttribute(XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_STYLESHEET, "");
        Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer(); 
        transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
        transformer.transform(xmlInput, xmlOutput);
        return xmlOutput.getWriter().toString();
    } catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException(e); // simple exception handling, please review it
    }
}

public static String prettyFormat(String input) {
    return prettyFormat(input, 2);
}

testcase:

prettyFormat("<root><child>aaa</child><child/></root>");

返回:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
  <child>aaa</child>
  <child/>
</root>
