| /** |
| * Interface for a DOM serializer implementation, factory for DOM and SAX |
| * serializers, and static methods for serializing DOM documents. |
| * <p> |
| * To serialize a document using SAX events, create a compatible serializer |
| * using {@link #makeSAXSerializer} and pass it around as a {@link |
| * DocumentHandler}. If an I/O error occurs while serializing, it will |
| * be thrown by {@link DocumentHandler#endDocument}. The SAX serializer |
| * may also be used as {@link DTDHandler}, {@link DeclHandler} and |
| * {@link LexicalHandler}. |
| * <p> |
| * To serialize a DOM document or DOM element, create a compatible |
| * serializer using {@link #makeSerializer} and call it's {@link |
| * #serialize(Document)} or {@link #serialize(Element)} methods. |
| * Both methods would produce a full XML document, to serizlie only |
| * the portion of the document use {@link OutputFormat#setOmitXMLDeclaration} |
| * and specify no document type. |
| * <p> |
| * The convenience method {@link #serialize(Document,Writer,OutputFormat)} |
| * creates a serializer and calls {@link #serizlie(Document)} on that |
| * serialized. |
| * <p> |
| * The {@link OutputFormat} dictates what underlying serialized is used |
| * to serialize the document based on the specified method. If the output |
| * format or method are missing, the default is an XML serializer with |
| * UTF-8 encoding and now indentation. |
