/**
* This interface is similar to
* javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter
; but it does not forces
* dynamic allocation when formatting (any {@link CharSequence CharSequence}
* can be used instead of {@link String}).
*
* Except for the speed (faster) and the added flexibility, the
* usage/behavior is about the same as its StAX counterpart.
*
* This writer does not require creating new String
objects
* during XML formatting. Attributes values can be held by a single/reusable
* {@link javolution.text.TextBuilder TextBuilder}
* (or StringBuilder
) instance to avoid adverse effects
* on memory footprint (heap), garbage collection and performance.
* [code]
* // Creates a new writer (potentially recycled).
* XMLOutputFactory factory = OSGiServices.getXMLOutputFactory();
* XMLStreamWriter writer = factory.createXMLStreamWriter(outputStream);
*
* TextBuilder tmp = new TextBuilder(); // To avoid creating new String instances.
* writer.writeStartDocument();
* writer.writeStartElement("Time");
* writer.writeAttribute("hour", tmp.clear().append(time.hour);
* writer.writeAttribute("minute", tmp.clear().append(time.minute);
* writer.writeAttribute("second", tmp.clear().append(time.second);
* writer.writeEndElement();
* writer.writeStartDocument();
*
* writer.close(); // Closes the writer (does not close underlying output stream).
