+ Often after creating a new document or loading the existing one and processing
+ it, it is necessary to save the result back to file. Also it is occasionally
+ useful to output the whole document or a subtree to some stream; use cases
+ include debug printing, serialization via network or other text-oriented medium,
+ etc. pugixml provides several functions to output any subtree of the document
+ to a file, stream or another generic transport interface; these functions allow
+ to customize the output format (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.options" title="Output options"> Output options</a>), and also perform
+ necessary encoding conversions (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>). This section documents
+ the relevant functionality.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ The node/attribute data is written to the destination properly formatted according
+ to the node type; all special XML symbols, such as &lt; and &amp;, are properly
+ escaped. In order to guard against forgotten node/attribute names, empty node/attribute
+ names are printed as <code class="computeroutput"><span class="string">":anonymous"</span></code>.
+ For proper output, make sure all node and attribute names are set to meaningful
+ values.

+ and output data encoding (see <a class="xref" href="saving.html#manual.saving.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>). The path has the target

+ For additional interoperability pugixml provides functions for saving document
+ to any object which implements C++ std::ostream interface. This allows you
+ to save documents to any standard C++ stream (i.e. file stream) or any third-party

+ for easy debug output, since you can use <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">cout</span></code>
+ stream as saving target. There are two functions, one works with narrow character

+ with wide character streams requires careful (usually platform-specific)
+ stream setup (i.e. using the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">imbue</span></code>

+<p>
+ In order to output the document via some custom transport, for example sockets,
+ you should create an object which implements <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer_file</span></code>
+ interface and pass it to <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">save</span></code>
+ function. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_writer_file</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">write</span></code>
+ function is called with a buffer as an input, where <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">data</span></code>
+ points to buffer start, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">size</span></code>
+ is equal to the buffer size in bytes. <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code>
+ implementation must write the buffer to the transport; it can not save the
+ passed buffer pointer, as the buffer contents will change after <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code> returns. The buffer contains the
+ chunk of document data in the desired encoding.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">write</span></code> function is called
+ with relatively large blocks (size is usually several kilobytes, except for
+ the first block with BOM, which is output only if <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">format_write_bom</span></code>
+ is set, and last block, which may be small), so there is often no need for
+ additional buffering in the implementation.

+ These functions have the same arguments with the same meaning as the corresponding

+<p>
+ Saving a subtree differs from saving the whole document: the process behaves

+ off, and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">format_no_declaration</span></code>
+ is on, even if actual values of the flags are different. This means that
+ BOM is not written to the destination, and document declaration is only written
+ if it is the node itself or is one of node's children. Note that this also
+ holds if you're saving a document; this example (<a href="../samples/save_subtree.cpp" target="_top">samples/save_subtree.cpp</a>)

+ pugixml supports all popular Unicode encodings (UTF-8, UTF-16 (big and little
+ endian), UTF-32 (big and little endian); UCS-2 is naturally supported since
+ it's a strict subset of UTF-16) and handles all encoding conversions during
+ output. The output encoding is set via the <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding</span></code>
+ parameter of saving functions, which is of type <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">xml_encoding</span></code>.
+ The possible values for the encoding are documented in <a class="xref" href="loading.html#manual.loading.encoding" title="Encodings"> Encodings</a>;
+ the only flag that has a different meaning is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ While all other flags set the exact encoding, <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>
+ is meant for automatic encoding detection. The automatic detection does not
+ make sense for output encoding, since there is usually nothing to infer the
+ actual encoding from, so here <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_auto</span></code>
+ means UTF-8 encoding, which is the most popular encoding for XML data storage.
+ This is also the default value of output encoding; specify another value
+ if you do not want UTF-8 encoded output.
+ </p>
+<p>
+ Also note that wide stream saving functions do not have <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding</span></code>
+ argument and always assume <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">encoding_wchar</span></code>
+ encoding.
