serialize

The serialize accessor may be used to provide tightly controlled serialization of an XML document. The serialization options are provided by the operator.

NetKernel transparently handles XML serialization operations defaulting to an indented, UTF-8 encoding. If you wish to use a different encoding or indentation then the serialize accessor can be used.

Generally serialize is only needed as the final stage of an XML process and usually targets this:response.

Operator Syntax

The operator provides the serialization options.

indent specifies that indentation should be used. If this option is omitted indentation is not used.
indent-size sets the number of characters to use for an indent. Ignored if indent not set.
encoding specifies the character stream encoding. Defaults to UTF-8 if omitted. Supports UTF-8, UTF-16, iso-8859-1 etc
omit-declaration if specified omits the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="xxxxx"?> declaration.
