Dom4j也可以很方便完成XML文档的创建、元素的修改、文档的查询遍历等，但dom4j稍比jdom复杂一点，不过在大片文档的情况下dom4j的性能要不jdom好。
# 准备
首先，提供相关的jar包
Dom4j jar包下载：
http://sourceforge.net/projects/dom4j/files/dom4j-2.0.0-ALPHA-2/
jaxen jar下载：
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jaxen/jaxen/1.1.1/jaxen-1.1.1.jar
和dom4j依赖或相关的jar：
http://dom4j.sourceforge.net/dependencies.html
Junit-jar下载：
其次，准备测试案例的部分代码：

}
* DocumentHelper是一个文档助手类（工具类），它可以完成文档、元素、文本、属性、注释、CDATA、Namespace、XPath的创建，以及利用XPath完成文档的遍历和将文本转换成Document；
parseText完成将xml字符串转换成Doc的功能
Document doc = DocumentHelper.parseText(
"<root></root>"
);
createDocument创建一个文档
Document doc = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
如果带参数就会创建一个带有根元素的文档
createElement创建一个元素
Element el = DocumentHelper.createElement(
"el"
);
* Document的addElement方法可以给当前文档添加一个子元素
Element root = doc.addElement(
"catalog"
);
* addComment方法可以添加一段注释
root.addComment(
"An XML Catalog"
);
为root元素添加一段注释
* addProcessingInstruction添加一个标记
root.addProcessingInstruction(
"target"
,
"instruction"
);
为root元素添加一个标记
* new BaseElement可以创建一个元素
Element journalEl =
new
BaseElement(
"journal"
);
* addAttribute添加属性
journalEl.addAttribute(
"title"
,
"XML Zone"
);
* add添加一个元素
root.add(journalEl);
将journalEl元素添加到root元素中
* addElement添加一个元素，并返回当前元素
Element articleEl = journalEl.addElement(
"article"
);
给journalEl元素添加一个子元素article
* setText、addText可以设置元素的文本
authorEl.addElement(
"firstname"
).setText(
"Marcello"
);
authorEl.addElement(
"lastname"
).addText(
"Vitaletti"
);
* addDocType可以设置文档的DOCTYPE
doc.addDocType(
"catalog"
, null,file://c:/Dtds/catalog.dtd);
* asXML可以将文档或元素转换成一段xml字符串
doc.asXML();
root.asXML();
* XMLWriter类可以把文档写入到文件中
output =
new
XMLWriter(
new
FileWriter(
new
File(
"file/catalog.xml"
)));
output.write(doc);
output.close();

* getName获取元素标签名称、getValue、getText获取值、文本内容；
* elementIterator("title");获取当前节点下所有的title元素，返回Iterator；
