SVG/XML Serializer

The SVG serializer serializes sax events to SVG XML. The output of the SVG serializer is SVG XML; the SVG XML is not rasterized to any image format by this serializer.

Name : svgxml

Class: org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer

Cacheable: yes

Sitemap Configuration

The SVG XML serializer is declared in the sitemap serializers section.

<map:serializers ...
...
  <map:serializer name="xml"
    src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.XMLSerializer"
    mime-type="text/xml"  
    doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"
    doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd";
    logger="sitemap.serializer.xml" 
    pool-grow="4" pool-max="32" pool-min="4">
    <!-- serializer configurations -->
...    
  </map:serializer>
...

The declaration of the SVG serializer shall use following XML serializer configuration parameters


Name	Value	Comment
doctype-public	-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN	specifies the SVG XML public document type
doctype-system	http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/REC-SVG-20010904/DTD/svg10.dtd	specifies the SVG XML system document type
mime-type	text/xml	Following mime-type may be used, too: `image/svg+xml`, `application/xml`. The mime-type `text/xml` is the most general one.

Pipeline Usage

Using the SVG XML serializer in a pipeline is just setting the serializer type to svgxml. The following code snippet uses the svxml serializer:


	<map:match pattern="svg"> ... <map:serialize type="svgxml"/> </map:match> ...

Further Reading

As SVG serializer uses the XML serializer internally, you might want to read the complete list of valid XML configuration parameters. It is available at XML serializer user documentation.
