HTMLSerializer

public class HTMLSerializer extends BaseMarkupSerializer
Implements an HTML/XHTML serializer supporting both DOM and SAX pretty serializing. HTML/XHTML mode is determined in the constructor. For usage instructions see {@link Serializer}.

If an output stream is used, the encoding is taken from the output format (defaults to UTF-8). If a writer is used, make sure the writer uses the same encoding (if applies) as specified in the output format.

The serializer supports both DOM and SAX. DOM serializing is done by calling {@link #serialize} and SAX serializing is done by firing SAX events and using the serializer as a document handler.

If an I/O exception occurs while serializing, the serializer will not throw an exception directly, but only throw it at the end of serializing (either DOM or SAX's {@link org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler#endDocument}.

For elements that are not specified as whitespace preserving, the serializer will potentially break long text lines at space boundaries, indent lines, and serialize elements on separate lines. Line terminators will be regarded as spaces, and spaces at beginning of line will be stripped.

XHTML is slightly different than HTML:

  • Element/attribute names are lower case and case matters
  • Attributes must specify value, even if empty string
  • Empty elements must have '/' in empty tag
  • Contents of SCRIPT and STYLE elements serialized as CDATA
deprecated
This class was deprecated in Xerces 2.6.2. It is recommended that new applications use JAXP's Transformation API for XML (TrAX) for serializing HTML. See the Xerces documentation for more information.

Constructors Summary
protected HTMLSerializer(boolean xhtml, OutputFormat format)
Constructs a new HTML/XHTML serializer depending on the value of xhtml. The serializer cannot be used without calling {@link #setOutputCharStream} or {@link #setOutputByteStream} first.

param
xhtml True if XHTML serializing



                                       
          
    
        super( format );
        _xhtml = xhtml;
public HTMLSerializer()
Constructs a new serializer. The serializer cannot be used without calling {@link #setOutputCharStream} or {@link #setOutputByteStream} first.

        this( false, new OutputFormat( Method.HTML, "ISO-8859-1", false ) );
public HTMLSerializer(OutputFormat format)
Constructs a new serializer. The serializer cannot be used without calling {@link #setOutputCharStream} or {@link #setOutputByteStream} first.

        this( false, format != null ? format : new OutputFormat( Method.HTML, "ISO-8859-1", false ) );
public HTMLSerializer(Writer writer, OutputFormat format)
Constructs a new serializer that writes to the specified writer using the specified output format. If format is null, will use a default output format.

param
writer The writer to use
param
format The output format to use, null for the default

        this( false, format != null ? format : new OutputFormat( Method.HTML, "ISO-8859-1", false ) );
        setOutputCharStream( writer );
public HTMLSerializer(OutputStream output, OutputFormat format)
Constructs a new serializer that writes to the specified output stream using the specified output format. If format is null, will use a default output format.

param
output The output stream to use
param
format The output format to use, null for the default

        this( false, format != null ? format : new OutputFormat( Method.HTML, "ISO-8859-1", false ) );
