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