public interface Serializer
 To serialize a document using SAX events, create a compatible serializer
 and pass it around as a DocumentHandler. If an I/O error occurs while serializing, it will
 be thrown by DocumentHandler.endDocument(). The SAX serializer
 may also be used as DTDHandler, DeclHandler and
 LexicalHandler.
 
 To serialize a DOM document or DOM element, create a compatible
 serializer and call it's DOMSerializer.serialize(Document) or DOMSerializer.serialize(Element) methods.
 Both methods would produce a full XML document, to serizlie only
 the portion of the document use OutputFormat.setOmitXMLDeclaration(boolean)
 and specify no document type.
 
 The OutputFormat dictates what underlying serialized is used
 to serialize the document based on the specified method. If the output
 format or method are missing, the default is an XML serializer with
 UTF-8 encoding and now indentation.
