Reading and Writing to XML - Help Please!

Hey guys, I am new to Java and new to this forum! so Hey :)

I have a problem I have been learning Java for about 4 Weeks or so, and I have decided to test what I have learned by making a bot type application. All it does is ask for your name and asks you to name it (retarded I know, but just testing what I have learned lol) that's basically it. What I would like to do is how could I get it to save what you input to an XML file?

I know how to Read, Write and Create files just all the basic things really. I just don't know how to go about getting it to save to XML so in future when I type maybe Name? it will say the name you gave it previously.

Thanks in advance, Hope I explained it well enough.

Hi,
I think this will help you:
Java and XML - Tutorial

bye...

Thank you for your help :) Looks interesting.

That and Google will help you. I've dabbled with XML before, but I don't find it straightforward since there are many many possible ways to read and write XML.

JDOM, ECS, etc are fine. To read I'd always use XPath.

There are many ways to read/write like has been said, but you shouldn't simply use StringBuilders to create the XML (well I guess it could be "ok" for something small, I'd still never do it).
