Example of Serialization Anchors

The following example illustrates three serialization anchors:

The first

StringSerializer

instructs the Serializer to write the following text in the output document:

First Name:<tab>

The

ContentSerializer

writes the value of the

Person/Name/First

element to the output.

The second

StringSerializer

writes the string:

<newline>Last Name:<tab>

The IntelliScript editor represents the newline and tab with ASCII codes and

, respectively.

Now, assume that you run the Serializer on the following XML:

<Person gender="M">
  <Name>
    <First>Ron</First>
    <Last>Lehrer</Last>
  </Name>
  <Id>547329876</Id>
  <Age>27</Age>
</Person>

From the illustrated serialization anchors, the output is:

First Name<tab>Ron<newline>Last Name<tab>

The display of this text is:

First Name:     Ron
Last Name:

The Serializer contains additional serialization anchors, which are not shown in the above illustration. The complete output of the Serializer is:


First Name:     Ron
Last Name:      Lehrer
Id:     547329876
Age:    27
Gender: M
