XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Egon Willighagen <egon.willighagen AT gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I am please to see the ongoing efforts for new XOM releases and have
been using XOM with much pleasure.

Recently, I had to need to both 'format' the output (like with
Serializer), but not output the XML declaration, so I made this class:

public class CustomSerializer extends Serializer {

    public CustomSerializer(OutputStream out) {
        super(out);
    }

    public CustomSerializer(OutputStream out, String encoding)
            throws UnsupportedEncodingException {
        super(out, encoding);
    }

    protected void writeXMLDeclaration() throws IOException {
        // do nothing
    }

}


Now, I had to put this class in the nu.xom package because the
writeXMLDeclaration() method was protected.

Is there a better way in 1.2.x to get indentation but no XML declaration?

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Egon
