Uses of Encoder in java.beans

Subclasses of Encoder in java.beans
`class` | `XMLEncoder` The `XMLEncoder` class is a complementary alternative to the `ObjectOutputStream` and can used to generate a textual representation of a JavaBean in the same way that the `ObjectOutputStream` can be used to create binary representation of `Serializable` objects.

Methods in java.beans with parameters of type Encoder
`protected void` | `DefaultPersistenceDelegate.initialize(Class<?> type, Object oldInstance, Object newInstance, Encoder out)` This default implementation of the `initialize` method assumes all state held in objects of this type is exposed via the matching pairs of "setter" and "getter" methods in the order they are returned by the Introspector.
`protected void` | `PersistenceDelegate.initialize(Class<?> type, Object oldInstance, Object newInstance, Encoder out)` Produce a series of statements with side effects on `newInstance` so that the new instance becomes equivalent to `oldInstance`.
`protected Expression` | `DefaultPersistenceDelegate.instantiate(Object oldInstance, Encoder out)` This default implementation of the `instantiate` method returns an expression containing the predefined method name "new" which denotes a call to a constructor with the arguments as specified in the `DefaultPersistenceDelegate`'s constructor.
`protected abstract Expression` | `PersistenceDelegate.instantiate(Object oldInstance, Encoder out)` Returns an expression whose value is `oldInstance`.
`void` | `PersistenceDelegate.writeObject(Object oldInstance, Encoder out)` The `writeObject` is a single entry point to the persistence and is used by a `Encoder` in the traditional mode of delegation.
