JAVA code snippet to replace single quote(') to double quote in whole XML file

I have a XML file having nested tags. We can use DOM, JDOM parser I want to replace inside the string of all tag from single quote(') to double quote in whole XML file. tag can be nested inside tags also. I want some for loop which looks for all tag and replace value like HYPER SHIPPING'SDN BHD_First_Page --> HYPER SHIPPING''SDN BHD_First_Page

Sample code

    public void iterateChildNodes(org.jdom.Element parentNode) {
        if(parentNode.getChildren().size() == 0) {
            if(parentNode.getText().contains("'")) {
                parentNode.setText(parentNode.getText().replaceAll("'", "\'"));
                LOGGER.info("*************  Below Value updated");
                LOGGER.info(parentNode.getText());
            }
        }else {
            List<Element> rec = parentNode.getChildren();
            for(Element i : rec) {
                iterateChildNodes(i);
            }
        }
    }

Sample XML File

    <Document>
        <Identifier>DOC1</Identifier>
        <Type>HYPER SHIPPING SDN BHD</Type>

This code can replace all ' with " from an XML file.

Adding no description here, try to code step by step. It is very easy to understand.

(Updated)

Part 1: Using JDOM

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.w3c.dom.NodeList;
import org.jdom2.input.SAXBuilder;
import org.jdom2.transform.JDOMSource;
import org.w3c.dom.*;

import java.io.*;

public class XmlModificationJDom {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        XmlModificationJDom xmlModificationJDom = new XmlModificationJDom();
        xmlModificationJDom.updateXmlAndSaveJDom();

    }

    public void updateXmlAndSaveJDom() {
        try {
            File inputFile = new File("document.xml");
            SAXBuilder saxBuilder = new SAXBuilder();
            org.jdom2.Document xmlDocument = saxBuilder.build(inputFile);
            org.jdom2.Element rootElement = xmlDocument.getRootElement();

            iterateAndUpdateElementsUsingJDom(rootElement);

            saveUpdatedXmlUsingJDomSource(xmlDocument);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    public void iterateAndUpdateElementsUsingJDom(org.jdom2.Element element) {

        if (element.getChildren().size() == 0) {
            // System.out.println(element.getName() + ","+ element.getText());
            if (element.getText().contains("'")) {
                element.setText(element.getText().replaceAll("\'", "\""));
            }
        } else {
            // System.out.println(element.getName());
            for (org.jdom2.Element childElement : element.getChildren()) {
                iterateAndUpdateElementsUsingJDom(childElement);
            }
        }
    }
}

Part 2: Using DOM

import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;

        XmlModificationDom.updateXmlAndSave();
    }
    
    public void updateXmlAndSave() {
        try {
            File inputFile = new File("document.xml");
            DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
            DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
            Document document = dBuilder.parse(inputFile);
            document.getDocumentElement().normalize();

            Node parentNode = document.getFirstChild();
            iterateChildNodesAndUpate(parentNode);

            writeAndSaveXML(document);

        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }

    }

    public void writeAndSaveXML(Document document) throws Exception {
        TransformerFactory transformerFactory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
        Transformer transformer = transformerFactory.newTransformer();
        DOMSource source = new DOMSource(document);
        StreamResult result = new StreamResult(new File("updated-document.xml"));
        transformer.transform(source, result);
    }

    public void iterateChildNodesAndUpate(Node parentNode) {

        NodeList nodeList = parentNode.getChildNodes();

        for (int index = 0; index < nodeList.getLength(); index++) {
            Node node = nodeList.item(index);
            if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) {
                Element element = (Element) node;
                //System.out.print(element.getNodeName());

                if (element.hasChildNodes() && element.getChildNodes().getLength() > 1) {
                    //System.out.println("Child > " + element.getNodeName());
                    iterateChildNodesAndUpate(element);
                } else {
                    //System.out.println(" - " + element.getTextContent());
                    if (element.getTextContent().contains("'")) {
                        String str = element.getTextContent().replaceAll("\'", "\"");
                        element.setTextContent(str);
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Just replace the removeQuote method with

private static void removeQuote(Document batchXml) throws JDOMException, Exception {
        Element root = batchXml.getRootElement();
        List<Element> docs = root.getChild("Documents").getChildren("Document");
        for (Element doc : docs) {
            String docType = doc.getChildText("Value");
             value =value.replaceAll("\'", "\"");
        }
    }

you need to add backslash on single quote and double quote

value =value.replace("\'","\"");
