No technical expert advice can be found here ;)

In the last days I was asked several times: “How do I convert a string into an InputStream, so that I can parse my XML-String with the SAX parser?” (note: or any other XML-Parser like DOM, JAXP, JDOM, …).

Being tired of explaining the same thing again and again – here is the answer:

String myString = 'content of your very own string';
ByteArrayInputStream in = new ByteArrayInputStream(myString.getBytes());
InputSource is = new InputSource();
is.setByteStream(in);
 
Parser myParser = new Parser();
myParser.parse(is);

Quick & Easy
