XMLStreamWriter

• An event based API for creating XML documents

• Minimal well-formedness checking

• Instances are created by XMLOutputFactory.createXMLStreamWriter() factory method:

  
  XMLOutputFactory factory = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance();
  XMLStreamWriter serializer = XMLOutputFactory.newInstance().createXMLStreamWriter;
