## org.apache.xml.serializer
Interface DOMSerializer

All Known Subinterfaces:
  DOMSerializer, SerializationHandler

public interface DOMSerializer

Interface for a DOM serializer implementation.

The DOMSerializer is a facet of a serializer and is obtained from the asDOMSerializer() method of the (`Serializer`) interface. A serializer may or may not support a DOM serializer, if it does not then the return value from asDOMSerializer() is null.

Example:

     // Create a document to be serialized
     org.w3c.dom.Document doc = ...;

     // Create a Serializer that will be used
     // to serialize the document
     org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer ser = ...;

     // Set the Writer to write output to, and
     // serialize the DOM using that Serializer
     java.io.StringWriter sw = new java.io.StringWriter();
     ser.setWriter(sw);
     DOMSerialzier dser = ser.asDOMSerializer();
     dser.serialize(doc);

     // Write out the serialized XML in the String.
     System.out.println(sw.toString());
