Serializers
Serializers take the pipeline data as a DOM document and output it to the client. There
are four basic types at present supported within Paloose:
- HTMLSerializer
— outputs simple HTML with option of a leading DOCTYPE declaration and character encoding information.
- XHTMLSerializer
— outputs conformant XHTML with option of a leading DOCTYPE declaration and character encoding information.
- TextSerializer
— outputs pure text derived from the content of the pipeline DOM
document.
- XMLSerializer —
outputs the DOM Document as an XML stream.
Component Declaration
Serializers are defined in the component declaration part of the Sitemap.
<map:serializers default="xml">

</map:serializer>
<map:serializer name="text" src="resource://lib/serialization/TextSerializer"/>

The default attribute specifies the type of serializer to use
if none is specified in a pipeline.
