Serialization option flags

Serialization option flags for the xml.Serializer class.

Table 1. Serialization option flags
Flag	Description
`xml_ignoretimezone`	Defines that the serializer ignores the time zone information, during the marshalling and un-marshalling process of a BDL DATETIME data type. A value of zero means `FALSE`. The default is `FALSE`. Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.
`xml_ignoreunknownelements`	Force the XML serializer to ignore unexpected elements that are not defined in the XML schema. See XML to BDL serialization options. A value of zero means FALSE. The default is FALSE. Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.
`xml_ignoreunknownattributes`	Force the XML serializer to ignore unexpected attributes that are not defined in the XML schema. See XML to BDL serialization options. A value of zero means `FALSE`. The default is `FALSE`. Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.
`xml_usetypedefinition`	Defines whether the serializer must specify the type of data during serialization. This will add an "`xsi:type`" attribute to each XML data type. A value of zero means `FALSE`. The default is `FALSE`. Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.
`xml_useutctime`	Defines that BDL DATETIME data type is converted to UTC time during the serializer marshalling process. A value of zero means `FALSE`. The default is `FALSE`. Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.
`xop_threshold`	When using the optimized serializer APIs, you can set a size that determines whether the `BYTE` is handled as a separate part (with an XML-Binary Optimized document created for it) or whether it is transmitted inline and encoded in base64 format. `CALL xml.serializer.setOption("xop_threshold",5000)` In this example, `BYTE` variables whose size is greater than 5000 bytes are handled as a separate part, otherwise they are handled inline and encoded in base64 format. By default, the size is zero (0), and all `BYTE` variables are handled as separate parts.
`xs_processcontents`	Defines the way to generate wildcard elements and attributes in XML schemas via the XML schema `processContents` tag. See Table 2 Throws an exception in case of errors, and updates status with an error code.

Table 2. Values for xs_processcontents
Value	Description
0	No processContents tag will be generated (default)
1	Generation of `processContents="skip"`.
2	Generation of `processContents="lax"`.
3	Generation of `processContents="strict"`.
