/**
* A utility class offering convenience methods for writing XML. This class
* takes care of character escaping, identation, etc. This class does not verify
* that the written data is legal XML. It is the callers responsibility to make
* sure that elements are properly nested, etc.
*
* Example:
*
* To write the following XML:
*
* <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
* <xml-doc>
* <foo a="1" b="2&3"/>
* <bar>Hello World!</bar>
* </xml-doc>
*
*
* One can use the following code:
*
* XMLWriter xmlWriter = new XMLWriter(myWriter);
* xmlWriter.setPrettyPrint(true);
*
* xmlWriter.startDocument();
* xmlWriter.startTag("xml-doc");
*
* xmlWriter.setAttribute("a", 1);
* xmlWriter.setAttribute("b", "2&3");
* xmlWriter.simpleTag("foo");
*
* xmlWriter.textTag("bar", "Hello World!");
*
* xmlWriter.endTag("xml-doc");
* xmlWriter.endDocument();
*
