The XMLStreamWriter interface specifies how to write XML.
The XMLStreamWriter interface specifies how to write XML.
The XMLStreamWriter does not perform well formedness checking on its input. However the writeCharacters method is required to escape & , < and > For attribute values the writeAttribute method will escape the above characters plus " to ensure that all character content and attribute values are well formed. Each NAMESPACE and ATTRIBUTE must be individually written. If javax.xml.stream.isPrefixDefaulting is set to false it is a fatal error if an element is written with namespace URI that has not been bound to a prefix. If javax.xml.stream.isPrefixDefaulting is set to true the XMLStreamWriter implementation must write a prefix for each unbound URI that it encounters in the current scope.
