7/**
8 * Implements xml writing in the XML standard format. Also allows you to
9 * break that format and auto-indent your exported xml data for ease of
10 * reading. The auto-indenting will only be applied to sections that
11 * have no content of their own already. This means that except for
12 * whitespace all of your data will be preserved perfectly.
13 * You can create an XmlWriter object around a file, or access the static
14 * write function directly and just hand it a filename and a root XmlNode.
15 * When using an XmlWriter object the interface is identicle to that of
16 * the XmlDocument class, so reference that class for API info. However
17 * when the initial (or root) node is closed, and the document is finished
18 * the file will be created and written to automatically. The user can
19 * check to see if this is actually true by calling the isFinished
20 * function in the XmlDocument class.
