How do I create an org.xml.sax.InputSource from a String?

Question

I am following a guide, and it gives me the following code:

InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new FileInputStream(new File("/path/to/xml/file.xml"))));

What I would like to know, is how I can still create an org.xml.sax.InputSource, but instead of reading the content of a file, use a String variable that I already have.

Answer 1

Use a StringReader instead of a FileInputStream.

See the documentation for StringReader

example:

InputSource inputSource = new InputSource( new StringReader( myString ) );

Answer 2

InputSource inputSource = new InputSource(new java.io.StringReader(string)); if it is org.xml.sax.InputSource.
