Class Root
Root provides a simple interface to a tree of
 objects.
 
Using an instance of this class a logical representation of
 the real object tree that is serialized can be built. When the
 actual data should be written as XML 
Root and
Element class can provide
  context information which is used to write the best fitting
 XML representation.
Root()-  The basic constructor.  
 
  | 
 void | addChild(Element elem)- Adds another child element to the tree.
 The new element automatically becomes the current
 element.
 
  | 
 void | close(Writer writer)- Writes the closing element and closes the 
Writer
 
  | 
 void | deleteLast()-  Goes back to the nearest parent element but
 deletes the just created child.
 This is used if something went wrong while
 processing the child element's 
Expression
 or Statement.
 
  | 
 void | end()-  Marks that the end of the current element
 is reached and that no more childs are added to
 it.
 The behavior is to return to the nearest parent
 element.
 
  | 
 void | traverse(Writer writer)-  Traverses the elements in the object tree
 and creates their XML representation in the output
 stream of the given 
Writer.
 Finally the Writer is flushed.

Root
public Root()
 The basic constructor.  Object is special, because it has no
 superclass, so there is no call to super().
addChild
public void addChild(Element elem)
Adds another child element to the tree.
 
The new element automatically becomes the current
 element.
elem - The new child element.
close
public void close(Writer writer)
Writes the closing element and closes the 
Writer
writer - The Writer instance that generates the XML representation.
deleteLast
public void deleteLast()
 Goes back to the nearest parent element but
 deletes the just created child.
 
This is used if something went wrong while
 processing the child element's 
Expression
 or 
Statement.
end
public void end()
 Marks that the end of the current element
 is reached and that no more childs are added to
 it.
 
The behavior is to return to the nearest parent
 element.
traverse
public void traverse(Writer writer)
 Traverses the elements in the object tree
 and creates their XML representation in the output
 stream of the given 
Writer.
 
Finally the 
Writer is flushed.
writer - The Writer instance that generates the XML representation.
