Method ForceNSDecl

ForceNSDecl(String)

Force a Namespace to be declared on the root element.

By default, the XMLWriter will declare only the Namespaces needed for an element; as a result, a Namespace may be declared many places in a document if it is not used on the root element.

This method forces a Namespace to be declared on the root element even if it is not used there, and reduces the number of xmlns attributes in the document.
