Hi Chisanga,
The reason you are getting this output is that your Java code is not
distinguishing between Text nodes and Element nodes when you process the
content of the root node. Your "formatted" XML includes whitespace
(carriage returns and / or spaces and tabs) which are being noticed by
the parser and inserted into the DOM tree. One way to solve this is to
check the type of the Node using instanceof - see the modified snippet
below.

Hope this helps!
Cheers,
