[Fwd: Re: Xml-commons]

hi,

i have seen this interesting post about XmlWriter (see below).

i think that XmlPull API could work as such utility as well,
XmlWriter has following features:

* Wrap a java.io.Writer
* Provide a Writer-like API
* Take care of as much of the XML handling as possible
* Avoid a large object structure
* Allow the ECS chaining style

the only think we do no have is ECS style chaining ,example:

	http://builder.com.com/utils/sidebar.jhtml?id=u00220020318yan01.htm&index=7

it is easy to fix and will make XmlSerializer to be superset of XmlWriter
(as XmlWriter has no support for namespaces), so i propose to add 
return XmlSerializer for all void "write" operations like

	XmlSerializer startTag(...)

what do you think about it?

thanks,

alek

ps. see actual class at

Konquerer and builder.com appear to have issues.
