public interface DOMSerializer

Interface for a DOM serializer implementation.

The DOMSerializer is a facet of a serializer and is obtained from the asDOMSerializer() method of the Serializer interface. A serializer may or may not support a DOM serializer, if it does not then the return value from asDOMSerializer() is null.

Example:

 Document     doc;
 Serializer   ser;
 OutputStream os;
 
 ser = ...;
 os = ...;

 ser.setOutputStream( os );
 DOMSerialzier dser = ser.asDOMSerializer();
 dser.serialize(doc);
