## Class XmlCasSerializer

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.uima.util.XmlCasSerializer

-     public abstract class XmlCasSerializer
      extends Object

  This class is an older class with just two static methods which forward to methods in XmiCasSerializer. Consider using XmiCasSerializer or CasIOUtils instead. Serializes a CAS to inline XML format. The output format conforms to the XML Metadata Interchange (XMI) format, an OMG standard.

  For more options, see `XmiCasSerializer`.

    - #### serialize

          public static void serialize(CAS aCAS,
                                       OutputStream aStream)
                                throws SAXException,
                                       IOException

      Serializes a CAS to XMI format and writes it to an output stream.
      Parameters:
        `aCAS` - CAS to serialize.
        `aStream` - output stream to which to write the XMI document
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - if a problem occurs during XMI serialization
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs

    - #### serialize

          public static void serialize(CAS aCAS,
                                       TypeSystem aTargetTypeSystem,
                                       OutputStream aStream)
                                throws SAXException,
                                       IOException

      Serializes a CAS to XMI format and writes it to an output stream. Allows a TypeSystem to be specified, to which the produced XMI will conform. Any types or features not in the target type system will not be serialized.
      Parameters:
        `aCAS` - CAS to serialize.
        `aTargetTypeSystem` - type system to which the produced XMI will conform. Any types or features not in the target type system will not be serialized.
        `aStream` - output stream to which to write the XMI document
      Throws:
        `SAXException` - if a problem occurs during XMI serialization
        `IOException` - if an I/O failure occurs
