How to remove encoding = "UTF-8" standalone = "no" from xml Document Object in Java

Question

I want to create XML in Java.

DocumentBuilderFactory dbfac = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance(); DocumentBuilder docBuilder; docBuilder = dbfac.newDocumentBuilder(); Document doc = docBuilder.newDocument(); 

but Java automatically creates an ad like this

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> 

How to remove encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" so that it is

 <?xml version="1.0"?> 

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think there is no legal way to exclude these attributes from the generation. But after creating it, you can use XSLT to remove this.

I think this is a good way.

Answer 2

Why do you need to delete the encoding? But..

 doc.setXmlStandalone(true); 

erases standalone="no"

Answer 3

 transformer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.OMIT_XML_DECLARATION, "yes"); 

This will solve your problem confirmed in JDK 6
