Class Printer

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    IndentPrinter

    public class Printer
    extends Object
    Deprecated.
    This class was deprecated in Xerces 2.9.0. It is recommended that new applications use the DOM Level 3 LSSerializer or JAXP's Transformation API for XML (TrAX) for serializing XML. See the Xerces documentation for more information.
    The printer is responsible for sending text to the output stream or writer. This class performs direct writing for efficiency. IndentPrinter supports indentation and line wrapping by extending this class.
