Serializer

converts XML documents to output documents.

The following table describes the properties of the

Serializer

component:

Property	Description
default_transformers	Defines a list of transformers that the Serializer applies to all serialized data.
example_source	Defines a sample XML source document. When you run the Serializer in the Developer tool, it operates on the sample document. You can choose one of the following options: Empty. You are prompted for a source document when you run the Serializer. Default. InputPort. Defines an input port. LocalFile. Defines a file on the local file system. Text. Defines a string. URL. Defines a URL.
name	A descriptive label for the component. This label appears in the log file and the Events view. Use the name property to identify the component that caused the event.
notifications	A list of NotificationHandler components that handle notifications from nested components. For more information, see Notifications.
on_fail	The action to take if the component fails. You can choose one of the following options: Cleared. Take no action. CustomLog. Write to the user log. LogError. Write an error message to the engine log. LogInfo. Write an information message to the engine log. LogWarning. Write a warning message to the engine log. NotifyFailure. Send a notification. Default is cleared. For more information about handling component failures, see Failure Handling.
output_file_extension	Defines the file extension of the generated output file. Default is ".txt".
remark	A user-defined comment that describes the purpose or action of the component.
root_tag	Defines the name of a root XML element that is not in the input schema for the Serializer. If the input of the Serializer in XML from another component in the Script, and the Data Processor transformation settings add a wrapper root element around the output, you must set this property to the name of the wrapper root element.
source	Defines a data holder that contains the source for the serialization. For more information, see Overview of Locators, Keys, and Indexing.
target	Defines a data holder that contains the result of the serialization. For more information, see Overview of Locators, Keys, and Indexing.
validate_source_document	Determines the level of source XML validation that the Serializer performs. You can choose one of the following options: Partial. Permits some deviations from the schema. Default. Strict. Enforces the schema strictly.
