In the previous example, How do I load properties from XML file? we read properties from XML file. Now it's the turn on how to store the properties as XML file.

package org.kodejava.example.io;

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

public class PropertiesToXml {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("database.type", "mysql");
        properties.setProperty("database.url", "jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb");
        properties.setProperty("database.username", "root");
        properties.setProperty("database.password", "root");

        FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("database-configuration.xml");
        properties.storeToXML(fos, "Database Configuration", "UTF-8");
    }
}

The saved XML file will look like the properties file below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
  <properties>
    <comment>Database Configuration</comment>
    <entry key="database.password">root</entry>
    <entry key="database.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/mydb</entry>
    <entry key="database.type">mysql</entry>
    <entry key="database.username">root</entry>
  </properties
