Required Behavior |
---|
START_ELEMENT |
QName name |
namespaces , attributes |
A START_ELEMENT will be written by writing the name, namespaces, and attributes of the event in XML 1.0 valid syntax for START_ELEMENTs. The name is written by looking up the prefix for the namespace uri. The writer can be configured to respect prefixes of QNames. If the writer is respecting prefixes it must use the prefix set on the QName. The default behavior is to lookup the value for the prefix on the EventWriter's internal namespace context. Each attribute (if any) is written using the behavior specified in the attribute section of this table. Each namespace (if any) is written using the behavior specified in the namespace section of this table. |
END_ELEMENT |
Qname name |
None |
A well formed END_ELEMENT tag is written. The name is written by looking up the prefix for the namespace uri. The writer can be configured to respect prefixes of QNames. If the writer is respecting prefixes it must use the prefix set on the QName. The default behavior is to lookup the value for the prefix on the EventWriter's internal namespace context. If the END_ELEMENT name does not match the START_ELEMENT name an XMLStreamException is thrown. |
ATTRIBUTE |
QName name , String value |
QName type |
An attribute is written using the same algorithm to find the lexical form as used in START_ELEMENT. The default is to use double quotes to wrap attribute values and to escape any double quotes found in the value. The type value is ignored. |
NAMESPACE |
String prefix, String namespaceURI, boolean isDefaultNamespaceDeclaration |
None |
A namespace declaration is written. If the namespace is a default namespace declaration (isDefault is true) then xmlns="$namespaceURI" is written and the prefix is optional. If isDefault is false, the prefix must be declared and the writer must prepend xmlns to the prefix and write out a standard prefix declaration. |
PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION |

String target, String data |
The data does not need to be present and may be null. Target is required and many not be null. The writer will write data section directly after the target, enclosed in appropriate XML 1.0 syntax |
