public interface Serializer
```
The Serializer interface is used to represent objects that can serialize and deserialize objects to an from XML. This exposes several read and write methods that can read from and write to various sources. Typically an object will be read from an XML file and written to some other file or stream.
An implementation of the Serializer interface is free to use any desired XML parsing framework. If a framework other than the Java streaming API for XML is required then it should be wrapped within the org.simpleframework.xml.stream API, which offers a framework neutral facade.

boolean validate(java.lang.Class type,
                 InputNode source)
          throws java.lang.Exception
```
    This validate method will validate the contents of the XML document against the specified XML class schema. This is used to perform a read traversal of the class schema such that the document can be tested against it. This is preferred to reading the document as it does not instantiate the objects or invoke any callback methods, thus making it a safe validation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - this is the class type to be validated against XML
    
    source - this provides the source of the XML document
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the document matches the class XML schema
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception - if the class XML schema does not fully match
  - validate

  - write
```
void write(java.lang.Object source,
           java.io.File out)
    throws java.lang.Exception
```
    This write method will traverse the provided object checking for field annotations in order to compose the XML data. This uses the getClass method on the object to determine the class file that will be used to compose the schema. If there is no Root annotation for the class then this will throw an exception. The root annotation is the only annotation required for an object to be serialized.
    
    Parameters:
    
    source - this is the object that is to be serialized
    
    out - this is where the serialized XML is written to
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception - if the schema for the object is not valid
  - write
```
