Class Serializer

    public class Serializer

extends XmlDestination

  A `Serializer` takes a tree representation of XML and turns it into lexical XML markup.

  Note that this is serialization in the sense of the W3C XSLT and XQuery specifications. Unlike the class `System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer`, this object does not serialize arbitrary CLI objects.

Method Detail

### SetOutputProperty

    public void SetOutputProperty(QName name,
                             string value)

  Set a serialization property

  In the case of XSLT, properties set within the serializer override any properties set in `xsl:output` declarations in the stylesheet. Similarly, with XQuery, they override any properties set in the Query prolog using `declare option saxon:output`.

  Parameters:
  `name` -
    The name of the serialization property to be set
  `value` -
    The value to be set for the serialization property. May be null to unset the property (that is, to set it back to the default value).

### SetOutputFile

    public void SetOutputFile(string filename)

  Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a file name

  Parameters:
  `filename` -
    The name of the file to receive the serialized output

### SetOutputStream

    public void SetOutputStream(System.IO.Stream stream)

  Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a `Stream`

  Saxon will not close the stream on completion; this is the caller's responsibility.

  Parameters:
  `stream` -
    The stream to which the output will be written. This must be a stream that allows writing.

### SetOutputWriter

    public void SetOutputWriter(System.IO.TextWriter textWriter)

  Specify the destination of the serialized output, in the form of a `TextWriter`

  Note that when writing to a `TextWriter`, character encoding is the responsibility of the `TextWriter`, not the `Serializer`. This means that the encoding requested in the output properties is ignored; it also means that characters that cannot be represented in the target encoding will use whatever fallback representation the `TextWriter` defines, rather than being represented as XML character references.

  Parameters:
  `textWriter` -
    The stream to which the output will be written. This must be a stream that allows writing. Saxon will not close the `textWriter` on completion; this is the caller's responsibility.

### GetResult

    public override JResult GetResult(net.sf.saxon.event.PipelineConfiguration )

### GetOutputProperties
