/**
* @deprecated
* A Abstract Schema serialization interface.
* DOMASWriters provides an API for serializing Abstract Schemas out in
* the form of a source Abstract Schema. The Abstract Schema is written to
* an output stream, the type of which depends on the specific language
* bindings in use.
*
DOMASWriter is a generic Abstract Schema serialization interface. It
* can be applied to both an internal Abstract Schema and/or an external
* Abstract Schema. DOMASWriter is applied to serialize a single Abstract
* Schema. Serializing a document with an active Internal Abstract Schema
* will serialize this internal Abstract Schema with the document as it is
* part of the Document (see LSSerializer
).
*
See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load
and Save Specification.
