The easiest way is probably to use JAXB.

It consists in writing JavaBeans holding the information (in your case, a Question and an Answer class, with the Question class holding a list of answers, and the answer class holding a (sub-)question).

Then, you ave to annotate the classes to tell JAXB how to map the JavaBean properties to XML attributes or elements.

And then you have to get a Marshaller which will transform your JavaBean tree into an XML document.

The following page has a short tutorial over these steps. Googling for JAXB will lead you to a more exhaustive documentation: http://www.vogella.de/articles/JAXB/article.html#jaxb
