BuildingStreamWriter

All Superinterfaces:

javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter

All Known Implementing Classes:

BuildingStreamWriterImpl
```
public interface BuildingStreamWriter
extends javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter
```
A BuildingStreamWriter allows a document to be constructed by calling the methods defined in the XMLStreamWriter interface; after the document has been constructed, its root node may be retrieved by calling the getDocumentNode() method.
The class will attempt to generate namespace prefixes where none have been supplied, unless the inventPrefixes option is set to false. The preferred mode of use is to call the versions of writeStartElement and writeAttribute that supply the prefix, URI, and local name in full. If the prefix is omitted, the class attempts to invent a prefix. If the URI is omitted, the name is assumed to be in no namespace. The writeNamespace method should be called only if there is a need to declare a namespace prefix that is not used on any element or attribute name.

The class will check all names, URIs, and character content for conformance against XML well-formedness rules unless the checkValues option is set to false.

A BuildingStreamWriter for a particular object model can be obtained by calling DocumentBuilder.newBuildingStreamWriter().

  - getDocumentNode
```
XdmNode getDocumentNode()
                 throws SaxonApiException
```
    After building the document by writing a sequence of events, retrieve the root node of the constructed document tree
    
    Returns:
    
    the root node of the constructed tree. The result is undefined (maybe null, maybe an exception) if the method is called before successfully completing the sequence of events (of which the last should be XMLStreamWriter.writeEndDocument()) that constructs the tree.
    
    Throws:
    
    SaxonApiException - if any failure occurs
  - setCheckValues
```
void setCheckValues(boolean check)
```
    Say whether names and values are to be checked for conformance with XML rules
    
    Parameters:
    
    check - true if names and values are to be checked. Default is true.
  - isCheckValues
```
boolean isCheckValues()
```
    Ask whether names and values are to be checked for conformance with XML rules
    
    Returns:
    
    true if names and values are to be checked. Default is true.
