    copied!<p>You don't explicitly require a 3rd party library to generate your rather simple XML format. You could simply write a to a StringBuffer object:</p> <pre><code>... StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(); sb.append("&lt;root&gt;"); for (String[] row: dataList) { sb.append("&lt;entry&gt;"); sb.append("&lt;ContractDate&gt;").append(row[0]).append("&lt;/ContractDate&gt;"); // etc... sb.append("&lt;/entry&gt;"); } sb.append("&lt;/root&gt;"); ... </code></pre> <p>However, I'm not necessarily advocating it. I personally recommend <a href="http://simple.sourceforge.net/download/stream/doc/tutorial/tutorial.php" rel="nofollow">Simple XML</a>. Create a POJO to model your rows (I won't include all properties in my example):</p> <pre><code>@Root public class Entry { @Element private String trader; @Attribute private int id; public Entry() { super(); } public String getTrader() { return text; } public void setTrader(String trader) { this.trader = trader; } public int getId() { return id; } public void setId(int id) { this.id = id; } } @Root(name="root") public class Entries { @ElementList(inline=true) List&lt;Entry&gt; entries; public Entries(List&lt;Entry&gt; entries) { this.entries = entries; } } </code></pre> <p>It's certainly some extra work up-front, but for non-trivial programs, having proper Java classes to represent the data models makes a lot of sense and provides greater flexibility, and code clarity.</p> <p>To save save as XML you do this:</p> <pre><code> List&lt;Entry&gt; entryList = new ArrayList(); int entryCount = 0; Serializer serializer = new Persister(); for (String[] row: dataList) { Entry entry = new Entry(); entry.setTrader(row[1]); entry.setId(++entryCount); entryList.add(entry); } File result = new File("entries.xml"); serializer.write(new Entries(entryList), result); </code></pre> <p>The Simple XML library gives you a lot of flexibility. You can also load up the XML file back into a list of Entry objects.</p>
