XML serializing
Been investigating the issue of XML serializing, which seems to happen in too many different in too many
places in Xindice. Xerces contains a good serialization implementation in the org.apache.xml.serialize package:
It CORRECTLY handles namespaces, intl character encodings, indenting when required etc...
The interfaces are identical in Xerces 1.xxx and Xerces 2.xxx so there isn't really a risk here either.
Would you guys accept if I investigated moving Xindice to this more standard method of serializing, thus doing away
with StringSerializer and TextWriter classes in the Xindice code?

+1 for me. Please, try to include even performance considerations into
your evaluation.

+1 for me. I think the JAXP/TRaX apis pretty much mirror what exists in
Xerces, and have been using it a lot in my code. It is also used in the
Cocoon serialization code.

I'm with Stefano, the JAXP/TRaX API is quite easy to use and most
Java/XML developers will be familiar with it.

Hmmm, question: what's wrong with using the JAXP 1.1 API for
serializing? that comes for free in JDK 1.4 and it's actually
implemented by those classes you mention above.

I am totally for doing this change, but JDK 1.4?? I don't think that's an
option, don't a lot of people here develop on Mac OS X??
Our project team is Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, so if we could keep it
working against JDK 1.3 until 1.4 comes out for OSX ( hopefully soon )...
just a thought.

XML serializingi would *love* this. i gave it a quick try, but hit enuff
problems to not just change everything...
i'd be very willing to help out... please let me know if you plan to pursue
this.
