Xerces 3.1.1 API: Class TextSerializer
Xerces 3.1.1


Class TextSerializer

java.lang.Object
  |
        |

Implements a text serializer supporting both DOM and SAX

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. DOM serializing is done SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler.

If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it

Constructor Detail

TextSerializer

public TextSerializer()
Constructs a new serializer. The serializer cannot be used without first.
Method Detail
setOutputFormat
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

startElement
public void startElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                         java.lang.String localName,
                         java.lang.String rawName,
Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.

This event allows up to three name components for each element:

  1. the Namespace URI;
  2. the local name; and
  3. the qualified (prefixed) name.

Any or all of these may be provided, depending on the properties:

  • the Namespace URI and local name are required when the namespaces property is true (the default), and are optional when the namespaces property is false (if one is specified, both must be);
  • the qualified name is required when the namespace-prefixes property is true, and is optional when the namespace-prefixes property is false (the default).

Note that the attribute list provided will contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted): #IMPLIED attributes will be omitted. The attribute list will contain attributes used for Namespace declarations property is true (it is false by default, and support for a

Parameters:
uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
localName - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
qName - The qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.
atts - The attributes attached to the element. If there are no attributes, it shall be an empty

endElement

public void endElement(java.lang.String namespaceURI,
                       java.lang.String localName,
                       java.lang.String rawName)
Receive notification of the end of an element.

The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding event (even when the element is empty).

Parameters:
uri - The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
localName - The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
qName - The qualified XML 1.0 name (with prefix), or the wrapping another exception.

startElement
public void startElement(java.lang.String tagName,
Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding endElement() event for every startElement() event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement() event.

If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached. Note that the attribute list provided will contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or


endElement

public void endElement(java.lang.String tagName)
Receive notification of the end of an element.

The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding startElement() event for every endElement() event (even when the element is empty).

If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will

wrapping another exception.

processingInstruction

public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                  java.lang.String code)
Receive notification of a processing instruction.

The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

A SAX parser must never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

Parameters:
target - The processing instruction target.
data - The processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied. The data does not include any wrapping another exception.

comment

public void comment(java.lang.String text)

comment

public void comment(char[] chars,
                    int start,
                    int length)
Report an XML comment anywhere in the document.

This callback will be used for comments inside or outside the document element, including comments in the external DTD subset (if read).


characters

public void characters(char[] chars,
                       int start,
                       int length)
Receive notification of character data.

The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity so that the Locator provides useful information.

The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

Note that some parsers will report whitespace in element method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).


characters

protected void characters(java.lang.String text,
                          boolean unescaped)

startDocument

protected void startDocument(java.lang.String rootTagName)
Called to serialize the document's DOCTYPE by the root element.

will serialize the document type declaration, and will serialize all pre-root comments and PIs that were accumulated in the document this is not the first root element of the document.


serializeElement

protected void serializeElement(Element elem)
inbetween, but better optimized.
Parameters:
elem - The element to serialize

serializeNode

protected void serializeNode(Node node)
Serialize the DOM node. This method is unique to the Text serializer.
Parameters:
node - The node to serialize

content

Must be called by a method about to print any type of content. If the element was just opened, the opening tag is closed and will be matched to a closing tag. Returns the current element state with empty and afterElement set to false.
Returns:
The current element state

getEntityRef

protected java.lang.String getEntityRef(char ch)
Returns the suitable entity reference for this character value, or null if no such entity exists. Calling this method with '&' will return "&".
Parameters:
ch - Character value
Returns:
Character entity name, or null
