To serialize a document using SAX events, create a compatible serializer and pass it around as a {@link org.xml.sax.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 org.xml.sax.DTDHandler}, {@link org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler} and{@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler}.
To serialize a DOM document or DOM element, create a compatible serializer and call it's {@link DOMSerializer#serialize(Document)} or {@link DOMSerializer#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.
The {@link OutputFormat} dictates what underlying serialized is usedto 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. @version $Revision: 1.2.6.1 $ $Date: 2005/09/09 07:26:17 $ @author Assaf Arkin @author Scott Boag @see DocumentHandler @see ContentHandler @see OutputFormat @see DOMSerializer
