PrettyPrintWriter

Class Overview

A simple writer that outputs XML in a pretty-printed indented stream.

By default, the chars

 & < > " ' \r
 

Note: Depending on the XML version some characters cannot be written. Especially a 0 character is never valid in XML, neither directly nor as entity nor within CDATA. However, this writer works by default in a quirks mode, where it will write any character at least as character entity (even a null character). You may switch into XML_1_1 mode (which supports most characters) or XML_1_0 that does only support a very limited number of control characters. See XML specification for version 1.0 or 1.1. If a character is not supported, a StreamException is thrown. Select a proper parser implementation that respects the version in the XML header (the Xpp3 parser will also read character entities of normally invalid characters).
