Just finished a new, enhanced XmlWriter – have a try!

[SetTrend]

I am proud to announce I just finished my new enhanced XmlWriter NuGet package.

From the ReadMe.md:

Enhanced XML Writer for .NET provides high-performance, low-allocating, and standards-compliant capabilities for serializing Microsoft LINQ to XML to XML text.

Enhanced XML Writer for .NET is an up-to-date, redesigned approach to serializing LINQ to XML document trees. It provides powerful serialization options and empowers developers to create standards-compliant XML from LINQ to XML trees.

The AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter.XmlWriter object comes with a single method: Write(), and WriteAsync() for asynchronous write operations. The Write() and WriteAsync() methods will serialize the LINQ to XML object tree either to a Stream or a StringBuilder object.

Why did I write this NuGet package in the first place? Here's the history behind writing Enhanced XmlWriter for .NET:

Three months ago I started writing a number of NuGet packages for providing WPF XAML flow document converters in .NET …

While I was testing my packages, I noticed that the Microsoft .NET XmlWriter fails to correctly serialize XElement objects if the xml:space="preserve" attribute applies to them. See this issue: #112343.

I was in an urge to get my NuGet packages finished. Microsoft declined to fix this bug, so I decided to write my own, enhanced XmlWriter.

It took two weeks for me to write AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter the package. And here it is now:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter

It solves the issues the Microsoft .NET XmlWriter suffers from and provides a number of new, powerful options.

I tested this package thorougly:

I even created a WPF application called XDocumentExplorer to test the result (see #113681)

(In the upper right panel, the AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter.XmlWriter output is displayed.)

So, I believe you may safely use the Enhanced XML Writer for .NET whenever you want to serialize business critical XML data.

The AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter NuGet package ReadMe.md file provides comprehensive documentation on the AxDa.EnhancedXmlWriter.XmlWriter options. Moreover, I put a lot of effort into writing comprehensive and sensitive XML API documentation tags. So, Intellisense will provide you with all the explanation required to use the Enhanced XML Writer for .NET.

Looking forward to your comments on this package 🙏 🙌 😊
