Can I parse XML in Java without taking XML file input from outside?

Generally using DOM, SAX or XPath etc parser we do take input from outside Java code like this:

File inputFile = new File("C:\\Users\\DELL\\Desktop\\catalog.xml");
DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
Document doc = dBuilder.parse(inputFile);

So can you parse XML file without taking input like this? I want to write my XML code alongside Java code.

Use DocumentBuilder.parse(new InputStream(new StringReader(xml))) where xml is a string containing the XML to be parsed.

That's if you really must use DOM. I can't imagine why anyone uses it any more, when alternatives such as JDOM2 are so much better.
