+ <q>Does Xerces DOM implement java.io.Serializable?</q>
+ <a>
+ <p>Yes. Xerces DOM can be serialized using Java object serialization.
+ It is recommended that a DOM be serialized as
+ <link anchor='dom-xml-serialization'>XML</link> where possible
+ instead of using object serialization.
+ </p>
+ <p>By choosing object serialization you sacrifice interoperability
+ between parsers and we do not guarantee interoperability
+ between versions of Xerces. It should be used with caution.
+ </p>
+ <p>Some rough measurements have shown that XML serialization performs
+ better than Java object serialization and that XML instance documents
+ require less storage space than object serialized DOMs.
