NAME

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter - output XML in canonical XML format

SYNOPSIS

 use XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter;

 $writer = XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter OPTIONS;
 $parser->parse(Handler => $writer);

DESCRIPTION

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter is a PerlSAX handler that will return a string or write a stream of canonical XML for an XML instance and it's content.

XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter objects hold the options used for writing the XML objects. Options can be supplied when the the object is created,

    $writer = new XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter PrintComments => 1;

or modified at any time before calling the parser's `parse()' method:

    $writer->{PrintComments} = 0;

OPTIONS

IOHandle

IOHandle contains a handle for writing the canonical XML to. If an IOHandle is not provided, the canonical XML string will be returned from `parse()'.

PrintComments

By default comments are not written to the output. Setting comment to a true value will include comments in the output.
