      • setEncoding

        void setEncoding​(java.lang.String pEncoding)
        Sets the writers encoding.
        Parameters:
        pEncoding - Writers encoding, by default null, in which case UTF-8 is being used.
      • getEncoding

        java.lang.String getEncoding()
        Returns the writers encoding.
        Returns:
        Writers encoding, by default null, in which case UTF-8 is being used.
      • setDeclarating

        void setDeclarating​(boolean pDeclarating)
        Sets, whether an XML declaration is being generated.
        Parameters:
        pDeclarating - Whether an XML declaration is generated. Defaults to false.
      • isDeclarating

        boolean isDeclarating()
        Returns, whether an XML declaration is being generated.
        Returns:
        Whether an XML declaration is generated. Defaults to false.
      • setWriter

        void setWriter​(java.io.Writer pWriter)
        Sets the target Writer. This is typically an instance of BufferedWriter, which is connected to an instance of OutputStreamWriter with an encoding matching the XML documents encoding.
        Parameters:
        pWriter - The target writer.
      • getWriter

        java.io.Writer getWriter()
        Returns the target Writer. This is typically an instance of BufferedWriter, which is connected to an instance of OutputStreamWriter with an encoding matching the XML documents encoding.
        Returns:
        The target writer.
      • canEncode

        boolean canEncode​(char pChar)

        Returns whether the XMLWriter can encode the character c without an escape sequence like &#ddd;.

        Parameters:
        pChar - The character being checked for escaping.
        Returns:
        Whether to encode the character.
      • setIndenting

        void setIndenting​(boolean pIndenting)
        Returns, whether the XMLWriter is indenting (pretty printing). If you want indenting, you should consider to invoke the methods setIndentString(java.lang.String) and setLineFeed(java.lang.String) as well.
        Parameters:
        pIndenting - Whether indentation is enabled. Defaults to false.
      • setIndentString

        void setIndentString​(java.lang.String pIndentString)
        Sets the string being used to indent an XML element by one level. Ignored, if indentation is disabled.
        Parameters:
        pIndentString - The indentation string, by default " " (two blanks).
      • getIndentString

        java.lang.String getIndentString()
        Returns the string being used to indent an XML element by one level. Ignored, if indentation is disabled.
        Returns:
        The indentation string, by default " " (two blanks).
      • setLineFeed

        void setLineFeed​(java.lang.String pLineFeed)
        Sets the line terminator. Ignored, if indentation is disabled.
        Parameters:
        pLineFeed - The line terminator, by default "\n" (Line Feed). You might prefer "\r\n" (Carriage Return, Line Feed), which is the default on Windows and related operating systems.
      • getLineFeed

        java.lang.String getLineFeed()
        Returns the line terminator. Ignored, if indentation is disabled.
        Returns:
        The line terminator, by default "\n" (Line Feed). You might prefer "\r\n" (Carriage Return, Line Feed), which is the default on Windows and related operating systems.
      • setFlushing

        void setFlushing​(boolean pFlushing)
        Sets, whether the method ContentHandler.endDocument() should do a flush on the target stream.
        Parameters:
        pFlushing - True, if a flush should be done. Defaults to false.
      • isFlushing

        boolean isFlushing()
        Returns, whether the method ContentHandler.endDocument() should do a flush on the target stream.
        Returns:
        True, if a flush should be done. Defaults to false.
