    *
  • [1] if namespaceURI == default Namespace URI, then no prefix is written
    • *
  • [2] if prefix == "" || null && namespaceURI == "", then no prefix or Namespace declaration is generated or written
    • *
  • [3] if prefix == "" || null, then a prefix is randomly generated
    • *
  • [4] if prefix == "" || null, then it is treated as the default Namespace and no prefix is generated or written, an xmlns declaration is generated and written if the namespaceURI is unbound
    • *
  • [5] if prefix == "" || null, then it is treated as an invalid attempt to define the default Namespace and an XMLStreamException is thrown
