Convert GWT xml.client.Document to XML string

Question

I have a com.google.gwt.xml.client.Document object I used XMLParser.parse(...) to create. I would like to serialize it back to the XML string from which it was derived. What is the easiest way to do this? I don't see a straightforward way from reading the Javadocs on this and related classes.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Agreed. Javadocs are not clear. gwtproject.org/javadoc/latest/com/google/gwt/dom/client/… All it says about toString() is that it's inherited from JavaScriptObject. — Trade-Ideas Philip

Easiest way:

document.toString();

If you're fine with going for an external lib, XStream is the best bet. Have a look at this two-minute tutorial

I know about XStream, it is built for serializing arbitrary Java objects. This is a Document object, which represents XML one-to-one already, like the DOM. Also, XStream must be compatible with GWT's deferred binding to convert the Java code to Javascript. This is not the solution I'm looking for.
