Class XmlWriter

java.lang.Object
  org.beanio.stream.xml.XmlWriter

All Implemented Interfaces:

RecordWriter, StatefulWriter

public class XmlWriter
extends Object
implements RecordWriter, StatefulWriter

A XmlWriter is used to write records to a XML output stream. A document object model (DOM) is used to represent a record. Group elements, as indicated by a user data key (see below), are not closed when a record is written. When write(null) is called, an open group element is closed. Finally, calling flush() will close all remaining group elements and complete the document.

A XmlWriter makes use of the DOM user data feature to pass additional information to and from the parser. The IS_GROUP_ELEMENT user data is a Boolean value added to an element to indicate the element is group. And the IS_NAMESPACE_IGNORED user data is a Boolean value set on elements where the XML namespace should be ignored when writing to the output stream.

Field Summary

static String	IS_GROUP_ELEMENT The DOM user data key to indicate a DOM element is a group element and should be left "open" when the record is written to the output stream.
static String	IS_NAMESPACE_IGNORED The DOM user data key to indicate whether the namespace of a DOM element should be ignored when writing to the output stream.

Constructor Summary

XmlWriter(Writer writer)
Constructs a new XmlWriter.

XmlWriter(Writer writer, XmlWriterConfiguration config)
Constructs a new XmlWriter.

Method Summary

void	close() Closes the output stream.
void	flush() Flushes the output stream.
void	restoreState(String namespace, Map<String,Object> state) Restores a Map of previously stored state information.
void	updateState(String namespace, Map<String,Object> state) Updates a Map with the current state of the Writer to allow for restoration at a later time.
void	write(Object record) Writes a record object to this output stream.
