The Serializer interface is implemented by Serializers to publish methods to get and set streams and writers, to set the output properties, and get the Serializer as a ContentHandler or DOMSerializer.
  • Method Details

    • setOutputStream

      void setOutputStream(OutputStream output)
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Specifies an output stream to which the document should be serialized. This method should not be called while the serializer is in the process of serializing a document.

      The encoding specified in the output Properties is used, or if no encoding was specified, the default for the selected output method.

      Parameters:
      output - The output stream
    • getOutputStream

      OutputStream getOutputStream()
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Get the output stream where the events will be serialized to.
      Returns:
      reference to the result stream, or null of only a writer was set.
    • setWriter

      void setWriter(Writer writer)
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Specifies a writer to which the document should be serialized. This method should not be called while the serializer is in the process of serializing a document.

      The encoding specified for the output Properties must be identical to the output format used with the writer.

      Parameters:
      writer - The output writer stream
    • getWriter

      Writer getWriter()
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Get the character stream where the events will be serialized to.
      Returns:
      Reference to the result Writer, or null.
    • setOutputFormat

      void setOutputFormat(Properties format)
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.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.
      Parameters:
      format - The output format to use
    • getOutputFormat

      Properties getOutputFormat()
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Returns the output format for this serializer.
      Returns:
      The output format in use
    • asContentHandler

      ContentHandler asContentHandler() throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Return a ContentHandler interface into this serializer. If the serializer does not support the ContentHandler interface, it should return null.
      Returns:
      A ContentHandler interface into this serializer, or null if the serializer is not SAX 2 capable
      Throws:
      IOException - An I/O exception occured
    • asDOMSerializer

      DOMSerializer asDOMSerializer() throws IOException
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Return a DOMSerializer interface into this serializer. If the serializer does not support the DOMSerializer interface, it should return null.
      Returns:
      A DOMSerializer interface into this serializer, or null if the serializer is not DOM capable
      Throws:
      IOException - An I/O exception occured
    • reset

      boolean reset()
      Deprecated.
      Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
      Resets the serializer. If this method returns true, the serializer may be used for subsequent serialization of new documents. It is possible to change the output format and output stream prior to serializing, or to use the existing output format and output stream.
      Returns:
      True if serializer has been reset and can be reused
