Method Details

__init__(self, doctype=None, strip_whitespace=True, namespace_prefixes=None, drop_xml_decl=True, cache=True)
(Constructor)

 
Initialize the XML serializer.
Parameters:
  • doctype - a (name, pubid, sysid) tuple that represents the DOCTYPE declaration that should be included at the top of the generated output, or the name of a DOCTYPE as defined in DocType.get
  • strip_whitespace - whether extraneous whitespace should be stripped from the output
  • cache - whether to cache the text output per event, which improves performance for repetitive markup
