that outputs a canonical XML document with comments.- Parameters:
out
- the output stream the document is written onto
-
Canonicalizer
Creates a
Canonicalizer

-
Canonicalizer
Creates a
Canonicalizer
that outputs a canonical XML document using the specified algorithm. Currently, four algorithms are defined and supported:- Canonical XML without comments:

- Canonical XML with comments:
http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-xml-c14n-20010315#WithComments
- Exclusive XML canonicalization without comments:

- the URI for the canonicalization algorithm- Throws:

Method Details
-
write
Serializes a node onto the output stream using the specified canonicalization algorithm. If the node is a document or an element, then the node's entire subtree is written out.
- Parameters:
node
- the node to canonicalize- Throws:
IOException
- if the underlyingOutputStream
encounters an I/O error
-
write
Serializes a document subset onto the output stream using the canonical XML algorithm. All nodes in the list must come from same document. Furthermore, they must come from a document. They cannot be detached. The nodes need not be sorted. This method will sort them into the appropriate order for canonicalization.
In most common use cases, these nodes will be the result of evaluating an XPath expression. For example,
Canonicalizer canonicalizer = new Canonicalizer(System.out, Canonicalizer.CANONICAL_XML); Nodes result = doc.query("//. | //@* | //namespace::*"); canonicalizer.write(result);
Children are not output unless the subset also includes them. Including an element in the subset does not automatically select all the element's children, attributes, and namespaces. Furthermore, not selecting an element does not imply that its children, namespaces, attributes will not be output.
- Parameters:
documentSubset
- the nodes to serialize- Throws:
IOException
- if the underlyingOutputStream
encounters an I/O errorCanonicalizationException
- if the nodes come from more than one document; or if a detached node is in the list
-
setInclusiveNamespacePrefixList
Specifies the prefixes that will be output as specified in regular canonical XML, even when doing exclusive XML canonicalization.
- Parameters:
inclusiveNamespacePrefixes
- a whitespace separated list of namespace prefixes that will always be included in the output, even in exclusive canonicalization
