- org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLFilterImpl
- - org.dom4j.io.XMLWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

ContentHandler, DTDHandler, EntityResolver, ErrorHandler, LexicalHandler, XMLFilter, XMLReader

Direct Known Subclasses:

HTMLWriter
```
public class XMLWriter
extends XMLFilterImpl
implements LexicalHandler
```
XMLWriter takes a DOM4J tree and formats it to a stream as XML. It can also take SAX events too so can be used by SAX clients as this object implements the ContentHandlerand LexicalHandler interfaces. as well. This formatter performs typical document formatting. The XML declaration and processing instructions are always on their own lines. An OutputFormatobject can be used to define how whitespace is handled when printing and allows various configuration options, such as to allow suppression of the XML declaration, the encoding declaration or whether empty documents are collapsed.

There are write(...) methods to print any of the standard DOM4J classes, including Document and Element, to either a Writer or an OutputStream. Warning: using your own Writer may cause the writer's preferred character encoding to be ignored. If you use encodings other than UTF8, we recommend using the method that takes an OutputStream instead.

```
protected final boolean isElementSpacePreserved(Element element)
```
    Determines if element is a special case of XML elements where it contains an xml:space attribute of "preserve". If it does, then retain whitespace.
    
    Parameters:
    
    element - DOCUMENT ME!
    
    Returns:

    element - DOCUMENT ME!
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - DOCUMENT ME!

  - getOutputFormat
```
protected OutputFormat getOutputFormat()
```
    Lets subclasses get at the current format object, so they can call setTrimText, setNewLines, etc. Put in to support the HTMLWriter, in the way that it pushes the current newline/trim state onto a stack and overrides the state within preformatted tags.
    
    Returns:
    
    DOCUMENT ME!
