In daily work, you sometimes need to convert Word to XML for storing and organizing data, or convert XML to Word for working on them more easily and efficiently. This article will demonstrate how to programmatically convert XML to Word using Spire.Doc for Java.

Convert XML to Word

The following are steps to convert XML to Word using Spire.Doc for Java.

• Create a Document instance.
• Load an XML sample document using Document.loadFromFile() method.
• Save the document as a Word file using Document.saveToFile() method.

import com.spire.doc.Document;
import com.spire.doc.FileFormat;

public class XMLToWord {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Create a Document instance
        Document document = new Document();

        //Load an XML sample document
        document.loadFromFile(sample.xml");

        //Save the document to Word
        document.saveToFile("output/XMLToWord.docx", FileFormat.Docx );
    }
}
