如果你不需要缩进那么多，但一些换行，这可能是足够的简单regex…

String leastPrettifiedXml = uglyXml.replaceAll("><", ">\n<");

代码很好，而不是因为缺少缩进而导致的结果。

(对于有缩进的解，请参见其他答案。)

我试图实现类似的东西，但没有任何外部依赖。应用程序已经在使用DOM来格式化xml了!

下面是我的示例片段

public void formatXML(final String unformattedXML) {
    final int length = unformattedXML.length();
    final int indentSpace = 3;
    final StringBuilder newString = new StringBuilder(length + length / 10);
    final char space = ' ';
    int i = 0;
    int indentCount = 0;
    char currentChar = unformattedXML.charAt(i++);
    char previousChar = currentChar;
    boolean nodeStarted = true;
    newString.append(currentChar);
    for (; i < length - 1;) {
        currentChar = unformattedXML.charAt(i++);
        if(((int) currentChar < 33) && !nodeStarted) {
            continue;
        }
        switch (currentChar) {
        case '<':
            if ('>' == previousChar && '/' != unformattedXML.charAt(i - 1) && '/' != unformattedXML.charAt(i) && '!' != unformattedXML.charAt(i)) {
                indentCount++;
            }
            newString.append(System.lineSeparator());
            for (int j = indentCount * indentSpace; j > 0; j--) {
                newString.append(space);
            }
            newString.append(currentChar);
            nodeStarted = true;
            break;
        case '>':
            newString.append(currentChar);
            nodeStarted = false;
            break;
        case '/':
            if ('<' == previousChar || '>' == unformattedXML.charAt(i)) {
                indentCount--;
            }
            newString.append(currentChar);
            break;
        default:
            newString.append(currentChar);
        }
        previousChar = currentChar;
    }
    newString.append(unformattedXML.charAt(length - 1));
    System.out.println(newString.toString());
}

嗯…面对这样的事情，这是一个已知的bug… 只需添加这个OutputProperty ..

transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputPropertiesFactory.S_KEY_INDENT_AMOUNT, "8");

希望这对你有所帮助……

有一个非常好的命令行XML实用程序叫做xmlstarlet(http://xmlstar.sourceforge.net/)，它可以做很多事情，很多人都在使用它。

您可以使用Runtime以编程方式执行此程序。然后读入格式化的输出文件。它具有比几行Java代码所能提供的更多选项和更好的错误报告。

下载xmlstarlet: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66612&package_id=64589

下面是一种使用dom4j的方法:

进口:

import org.dom4j.Document;  
import org.dom4j.DocumentHelper;  
import org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat;  
import org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter;

代码:

String xml = "<your xml='here'/>";  
Document doc = DocumentHelper.parseText(xml);  
StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();  
OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();  
XMLWriter xw = new XMLWriter(sw, format);  
xw.write(doc);  
String result = sw.toString();

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。
