Saxon.Api
Class Serializer 

public class Serializer
extends XmlDestination

A Serializer takes a tree representation of XML and turns it into lexical XML markup.

Note that this is serialization in the sense of the W3C XSLT and XQuery specifications. Unlike the class System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer, this object does not serialize arbitrary CLI objects.

public Serializer()

Create a Serializer

Method Detail

SetOutputProperty

public void SetOutputProperty(QName name,
string value)

Set a serialization property

In the case of XSLT, properties set within the serializer override any properties set in xsl:output declarations in the stylesheet. Similarly, with XQuery, they override any properties set in the Query prolog using declare option saxon:output.

Parameters:
name -
The name of the serialization property to be set
value -
The value to be set for the serialization property. May be null to unset the property (that is, to set it back to the default value).

SetDefaultOutputProperties

public void SetDefaultOutputProperties(java.util.Properties props)

Set default output properties, for use when no explicit properties are set using SetProperty(). The values supplied are typically those specified in the stylesheet or query. In the case of XSLT, they are the properties associated with unamed xsl:output declarations.

Parameters:
props -

SetCharacterMap

public void SetCharacterMap(net.sf.saxon.serialize.CharacterMapIndex charMap)

Set a character map to be used

Parameters:
charMap -
the character map

SetOutputFile

public void SetOutputFile(string filename)
throws
DynamicError

Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a file name

Parameters:
filename -
The name of the file to receive the serialized output
Throws:
DynamicError - Throws a DynamicError if it is not possible to create an output stream to write to this file, for example, if the filename is in a directory that does not exist.

SetOutputStream

public void SetOutputStream(System.IO.Stream stream)

Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a Stream

Saxon will not close the stream on completion; this is the caller's responsibility.

Parameters:
stream -
The stream to which the output will be written. This must be a stream that allows writing.

GetOutputDestination

public java.io.OutputStream GetOutputDestination()

SetProcessor

public void SetProcessor(Processor processor)

Set the Processor associated with this Serializer. This will be called automatically if the serializer is created using one of the Processor.NewSerializer() methods.

Parameters:
processor -
processor the associated Processor

SetOutputWriter

public void SetOutputWriter(System.IO.TextWriter textWriter)

Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a TextWriter

Note that when writing to a TextWriter, character encoding is the responsibility of the TextWriter, not the Serializer. This means that the encoding requested in the output properties is ignored; it also means that characters that cannot be represented in the target encoding will use whatever fallback representation the TextWriter defines, rather than being represented as XML character references.

Parameters:
textWriter -
The stream to which the output will be written. This must be a stream that allows writing. Saxon will not close the textWriter on completion; this is the caller's responsibility.

GetReceiver

public override net.sf.saxon.event.Receiver GetReceiver(net.sf.saxon.event.PipelineConfiguration pipe)

GetOutputProperties

public override java.util.Properties GetOutputProperties()

Close

public override void Close()
