Using the XMLOutputter Class Directly

• Configured with three variables passed to the constructor:

  • indent: a String added at each level of output; e.g. two spaces or a tab

  • lineSeparator: the String to break lines with, no line breaking is performed if this is null or the empty string

  • encoding: The name of the encoding to use for output; e.g. UTF-16 or ISO-8859-1

• Options can be set with these methods:

    public void setLineSeparator(String separator) {}
    public void setSuppressDeclaration(boolean suppressDeclaration) {}
    public void setOmitEncoding(boolean omitEncoding) {}
    public void setExpandEmptyElements(boolean expandEmptyElements) {}
    public void setIndent(String indent) {}
    public void setIndentSize(int indentSize) {}
    public void setIndenting(boolean useIndentation) {}
  

• The output() method writes a Document onto a given OutputStream:

  
  public void output(Document doc, OutputStream out, String encoding) throws IOException
  public void output(Document doc, OutputStream out) throws IOException
