  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    DOMSerializer, Serializer, ContentHandler, DocumentHandler, DTDHandler, DeclHandler, LexicalHandler

    public class XML11Serializer
    extends XMLSerializer
    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.
    Implements an XML serializer supporting both DOM and SAX pretty serializing. For usage instructions see Serializer.

    If an output stream is used, the encoding is taken from the output format (defaults to UTF-8). If a writer is used, make sure the writer uses the same encoding (if applies) as specified in the output format.

    The serializer supports both DOM and SAX. SAX serializing is done by firing SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler. DOM serializing is done by calling BaseMarkupSerializer.serialize(Document) or by using DOM Level 3 LSSerializer and serializing with LSSerializer.write(org.w3c.dom.Node, org.w3c.dom.ls.LSOutput), LSSerializer.writeToString(org.w3c.dom.Node).

    If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it at the end of serializing (either DOM or SAX's DocumentHandler.endDocument().

    For elements that are not specified as whitespace preserving, the serializer will potentially break long text lines at space boundaries, indent lines, and serialize elements on separate lines. Line terminators will be regarded as spaces, and spaces at beginning of line will be stripped.
