		//File Path
		String filePath = "D:\\classNew.xml";
 
		//Create FileWriter object.
		Writer fileWriter = new FileWriter(filePath);
 
		//Get XMLOutputFactory instance.
		XMLOutputFactory xmlOutputFactory = 
                                  XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
 
		//Create XMLStreamWriter object from xmlOutputFactory.
		XMLStreamWriter xmlStreamWriter = 
                    xmlOutputFactory.createXMLStreamWriter(fileWriter);
 
		//Add elements to xmlStreamWriter.
		xmlStreamWriter.writeStartDocument();
		xmlStreamWriter.writeStartElement("class");
		xmlStreamWriter.writeStartElement("student");
		xmlStreamWriter.writeAttribute("name", "Rajesh Garg");
		xmlStreamWriter.writeEndElement();
		xmlStreamWriter.writeStartElement("student");
