How do I read XML string from file into a String?

Question

I have an XML file stored in the SD card. It contains data like this:

<employees>
    <emp id="1" sex="male">
        <name>John</name>
        <age>36</age>
    </emp>
    <emp id="2" sex="female">
        <name>Marry</name>
        <age>28</age>
    </emp>
    <emp id="3" sex="male">
        <name>Phil</name>
        <age>30</age>
    </emp>
    <emp id="4" sex="male">
        <name>Frank</name>
        <age>33</age>
    </emp>
</employees>

I want convert it to string, like String str = "xml data".

How to do that?

You need to open it with an XML document reader if you want the semantic content, but if you just want to read the string from a file then you just need a file reader which is dependent on your programming language. — LordWilmore, Jun 30 '16 at 12:21

You need to open it with an XML document reader if you want the semantic content, but if you just want to read the string from a file then you just need a file reader which is dependent on your programming language.

For example in C# it would be File.ReadAllLines("myfile.xml").
