XML parsing using JDOM

Question

I am trying to parse xml using JDOM. The problem is i want split a huge xml file into smaller files. The huge xml contains many <page></page>. I want to treat each <page></page> as a page. I am not able to find a function which could just copy the everything from <page>,</page> to different files.

Out0.xml
<page>
</page>

out1.xml
<page>
</page>

Brute options are to go through each tag copying every data, but that is boring. Is there a way I could copy all bytes within <page>,<page> different pages? Is there a function similar to VTD-xml::getXML().getBytes();

This sounds like a task for XSLT or StAX more than JDOM. If the original file is truly huge, JDOM's actually very memory intensive and that route likely won't work.

I had considered XSLT and StAX but just wanted to be consistent with my code where i have used JDOM for parsing. I will try using XSLT/Stax. But, if there is a better option do let me know ?

I guess in XML parsing APIs, there are a lot of tradeoffs on ease of use vs. speed and memory consumption, and unfortunately, you might need to be flexible sometimes if the situation warrants it.
