Marshaller (Spring Framework 5.2.12.RELEASE API)

All Known Subinterfaces:
GenericMarshaller, MimeMarshaller
All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractMarshaller, Jaxb2Marshaller, JibxMarshaller, XStreamMarshaller
```
public interface Marshaller
```
Defines the contract for Object XML Mapping Marshallers. Implementations of this interface can serialize a given Object to an XML Stream.
Although the marshal method accepts a java.lang.Object as its first parameter, most Marshaller implementations cannot handle arbitrary Objects. Instead, a object class must be registered with the marshaller, or have a common base class.
