Interface EscapingWriterFactory


public interface EscapingWriterFactory
Interface that defines API for the factories stream writers use for creating "escaping writers". These factories are used when defining custom escaping of text (as well as possibly used by the implementations for default escaping too). Escaping in this context refers to the process of replacing individual text/attribute content character with pre-defined and character entities, as per XML specification (2.4, Appendix D).

Typical escaping writers replace characters like '<' and '&', as well as some additional characters depending on context. Custom implementations may choose to escape additional characters, for example to make it easier to manually view or edit resulting serialized XML document.

Note about implementing escaping writers: writers need to obey normal Writer semantics, and specifically they should pass calls to flush() and close() to the underlying Writer.
