# XML::Handler::CanonXMLWriter - phpMan

## 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.
