  34  * Interface for a DOM serializer implementation, factory for DOM and SAX
  35  * serializers, and static methods for serializing DOM documents.
  36  * <p>
  37  * To serialize a document using SAX events, create a compatible serializer
  38  * and pass it around as a {@link
  39  * org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler}. If an I/O error occurs while serializing, it will
  40  * be thrown by {@link DocumentHandler#endDocument}. The SAX serializer
  41  * may also be used as {@link org.xml.sax.DTDHandler}, {@link org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler} and
  42  * {@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler}.
  43  * <p>
  44  * To serialize a DOM document or DOM element, create a compatible
  45  * serializer and call it's {@link
  46  * DOMSerializer#serialize(Document)} or {@link DOMSerializer#serialize(Element)} methods.
  47  * Both methods would produce a full XML document, to serizlie only
  48  * the portion of the document use {@link OutputFormat#setOmitXMLDeclaration}
  49  * and specify no document type.
  50  * <p>
  51  * The {@link OutputFormat} dictates what underlying serialized is used
  52  * to serialize the document based on the specified method. If the output
  53  * format or method are missing, the default is an XML serializer with
  54  * UTF-8 encoding and now indentation.
