## weblogic.apache.xml.serialize
Class XMLSerializer

    java.lang.Object
      weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.BaseMarkupSerializer
          weblogic.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer

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

Deprecated. 9.2.0.0 Replaced by org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer.

    public class XMLSerializer

extends BaseMarkupSerializer

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 `DOMWriter` and serializing with `DOMWriter`, `DOMWriter`.

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.

    `format` - The output format to use, null for the default

### XMLSerializer

    public XMLSerializer(OutputStream output,
                         OutputFormat format)

    `format` - The output format to use, null for the default

Method Detail

### setOutputFormat

    public void setOutputFormat(OutputFormat format)

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from interface: `Serializer`
  Specifies an output format for this serializer. It the serializer has already been associated with an output format, it will switch to the new format. This method should not be called while the serializer is in the process of serializing a document.

  Specified by:
    `setOutputFormat` in interface `Serializer`
  Overrides:
    `setOutputFormat` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `format` - The output format to use

                             String localName,
                             String rawName)
                      throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### startElement

    public void startElement(String tagName,
                             AttributeList attrs)
                      throws SAXException

  Deprecated.
  Throws:
    `SAXException`

### endElement

    public void endElement(String tagName)
                    throws SAXException

### startDocument

    protected void startDocument(String rootTagName)
                          throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Called to serialize the document's DOCTYPE by the root element. The document type declaration must name the root element, but the root element is only known when that element is serialized, and not at the start of the document.

  This method will check if it has not been called before (`BaseMarkupSerializer._started`), will serialize the document type declaration, and will serialize all pre-root comments and PIs that were accumulated in the document (see `BaseMarkupSerializer.serializePreRoot()`). Pre-root will be serialized even if this is not the first root element of the document.

  Throws:
    `IOException`

### serializeElement

    protected void serializeElement(Element elem)
                             throws IOException

  Deprecated.

Equivalent to calling `XMLSerializer.startElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String, org.xml.sax.Attributes)`, `XMLSerializer.endElement(java.lang.String, java.lang.String, java.lang.String)` and serializing everything inbetween, but better optimized.

  Specified by:
    `serializeElement` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `elem` - The element to serialize
  Throws:
    `IOException` - An I/O exception occured while serializing

### getEntityRef

    protected String getEntityRef(int ch)

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from class: `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Returns the suitable entity reference for this character value, or null if no such entity exists. Calling this method with `'&'` will return `"&amp;"`.

  Specified by:
    `getEntityRef` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `ch` - Character value
  Returns:
    Character entity name, or null

                         throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from class: `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Escapes a string so it may be printed as text content or attribute value. Non printable characters are escaped using character references. Where the format specifies a deault entity reference, that reference is used (e.g. `&lt;`).

  Overrides:
    `printEscaped` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Parameters:
    `source` - The string to escape
  Throws:
    `IOException`

                      throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Overrides:
    `printText` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### printText

    protected void printText(char[] chars,
                             int start,
                             int length,
                             boolean preserveSpace,
                             boolean unescaped)
                      throws IOException

  Deprecated.
  Description copied from class: `BaseMarkupSerializer`
  Called to print additional text with whitespace handling. If spaces are preserved, the text is printed as if by calling `BaseMarkupSerializer.printText(String,boolean,boolean)` with a call to `Printer.breakLine()` for each new line. If spaces are not preserved, the text is broken at space boundaries if longer than the line width; Multiple spaces are printed as such, but spaces at beginning of line are removed.

  Overrides:
    `printText` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
    `preserveSpace` - Space preserving flag
    `unescaped` - Print unescaped
  Throws:
    `IOException`

### reset

    public boolean reset()

  Deprecated.
  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `BaseMarkupSerializer`
