JDOM: String XML Tree to Element

Converting XML Tree in String to JDOM Element

There would be case that a given string that is in xml structure needs to be inserted into an existing DOM.
i.e.

<INFO>
  <CREATED-BY>Someone</CREATED-BY>
  <CREATED-DATE>YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS</CREATED-DATE>
</INFO>

For this scenario you need to use SaxBuilder and StringReader :

String str = "<INFO><CREATED-BY>Someone</CREATED-BY><CREATED-DATE>YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS</CREATED-DATE></INFO>";
   
StringReader reader = new StringReader(str);
SAXBuilder builder  = new SAXBuilder();
Document document   = builder.build(reader);     
Element element     = document.getRootElement();

Now, you can have the element variable to be added as content to other Document
