Instance Method Details

#xml_serialize(writer) ⇒ void

This method returns an undefined value.

The xmlSerialize method is called during xml writing.

Use the $writer argument to write its own xml serialization.

An important note: do not create a parent element. Any element implementing XmlSerializble should only ever write what’s considered its ‘inner xml’.

The parent of the current element is responsible for writing a containing element.

This allows serializers to be re-used for different element names.

If you are opening new elements, you must also close them again.
