在提出我自己的解决方案之前，我应该先看看这一页!不管怎样，我使用Java递归来解析xml页面。此代码是完全自包含的，不依赖于第三方库。也. .它使用递归!

// you call this method passing in the xml text
public static void prettyPrint(String text){
    prettyPrint(text, 0);
}

// "index" corresponds to the number of levels of nesting and/or the number of tabs to print before printing the tag
public static void prettyPrint(String xmlText, int index){
    boolean foundTagStart = false;
    StringBuilder tagChars = new StringBuilder();
    String startTag = "";
    String endTag = "";
    String[] chars = xmlText.split("");
    // find the next start tag
    for(String ch : chars){
        if(ch.equalsIgnoreCase("<")){
            tagChars.append(ch);
            foundTagStart = true;
        } else if(ch.equalsIgnoreCase(">") && foundTagStart){
            startTag = tagChars.append(ch).toString();
            String tempTag = startTag;
            endTag = (tempTag.contains("\"") ? (tempTag.split(" ")[0] + ">") : tempTag).replace("<", "</"); // <startTag attr1=1 attr2=2> => </startTag>
            break;
        } else if(foundTagStart){
            tagChars.append(ch);
        }
    }
    // once start and end tag are calculated, print start tag, then content, then end tag
    if(foundTagStart){
        int startIndex = xmlText.indexOf(startTag);
        int endIndex = xmlText.indexOf(endTag);
        // handle if matching tags NOT found
        if((startIndex < 0) || (endIndex < 0)){
            if(startIndex < 0) {
                // no start tag found
                return;
            } else {
                // start tag found, no end tag found (handles single tags aka "<mytag/>" or "<?xml ...>")
                printTabs(index);
                System.out.println(startTag);
                // move on to the next tag
                // NOTE: "index" (not index+1) because next tag is on same level as this one
                prettyPrint(xmlText.substring(startIndex+startTag.length(), xmlText.length()), index);
                return;
            }
        // handle when matching tags found
        } else {
            String content = xmlText.substring(startIndex+startTag.length(), endIndex);
            boolean isTagContainsTags = content.contains("<"); // content contains tags
            printTabs(index);
            if(isTagContainsTags){ // ie: <tag1><tag2>stuff</tag2></tag1>
                System.out.println(startTag);
                prettyPrint(content, index+1); // "index+1" because "content" is nested
                printTabs(index);
            } else {
                System.out.print(startTag); // ie: <tag1>stuff</tag1> or <tag1></tag1>
                System.out.print(content);
            }
            System.out.println(endTag);
            int nextIndex = endIndex + endTag.length();
            if(xmlText.length() > nextIndex){ // if there are more tags on this level, continue
                prettyPrint(xmlText.substring(nextIndex, xmlText.length()), index);
            }
        }
    } else {
        System.out.print(xmlText);
    }
}

private static void printTabs(int counter){
    while(counter-- > 0){ 
        System.out.print("\t");
    }
}

我过去使用org.dom4j.io.OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint()方法打印过

public String prettyPrint(final String xml){  

    if (StringUtils.isBlank(xml)) {
        throw new RuntimeException("xml was null or blank in prettyPrint()");
    }

    final StringWriter sw;

    try {
        final OutputFormat format = OutputFormat.createPrettyPrint();
        final org.dom4j.Document document = DocumentHelper.parseText(xml);
        sw = new StringWriter();
        final XMLWriter writer = new XMLWriter(sw, format);
        writer.write(document);
    }
    catch (Exception e) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Error pretty printing xml:\n" + xml, e);
    }
    return sw.toString();
}

为了将来的参考，这里有一个对我有用的解决方案(感谢@George Hawkins在其中一个答案中发表的评论):

DOMImplementationRegistry registry = DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance();
DOMImplementationLS impl = (DOMImplementationLS) registry.getDOMImplementation("LS");
LSSerializer writer = impl.createLSSerializer();
writer.getDomConfig().setParameter("format-pretty-print", Boolean.TRUE);
LSOutput output = impl.createLSOutput();
ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
output.setByteStream(out);
writer.write(document, output);
String xmlStr = new String(out.toByteArray());

我也有同样的问题，我用JTidy (http://jtidy.sourceforge.net/index.html)取得了巨大的成功。

例子:

Tidy t = new Tidy();
t.setIndentContent(true);
Document d = t.parseDOM(
    new ByteArrayInputStream("HTML goes here", null);

OutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
t.pprint(d, out);
String html = out.toString();

如果使用第三方XML库是可行的，那么您可以使用一些比目前票数最高的答案所建议的要简单得多的方法。

它声明输入和输出都应该是字符串，所以这里有一个实用程序方法，用XOM库实现:

import nu.xom.*;
import java.io.*;

[...]

public static String format(String xml) throws ParsingException, IOException {
    ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    Serializer serializer = new Serializer(out);
    serializer.setIndent(4);  // or whatever you like
    serializer.write(new Builder().build(xml, ""));
    return out.toString("UTF-8");
}

我对它进行了测试，结果不依赖于JRE版本或类似的东西。要了解如何根据自己的喜好定制输出格式，请查看Serializer API。

这实际上比我想象的要长——需要一些额外的行，因为Serializer想要写入一个OutputStream。但是请注意，这里很少有用于实际XML处理的代码。

(这个答案是我对XOM的评估的一部分，在我关于替代dom4j的最佳Java XML库的问题中，XOM被建议作为一个选项。在dom4j中，您可以使用XMLWriter和OutputFormat轻松实现这一点。编辑:…正如mlo55的答案所示。)

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>
