# Link Serializer

The link serializer generates a list of links using XLink from the sax events. Most XHTML attributes are also supported (href, src, longdesc, background). The mime-type of the output is `application/x-cocoon-links`. This serializer is required by the link status generator and the command line mode to follow links.

- Name: links
- Class: org.apache.cocoon.serialization.LinkSerializer
- Cacheable: no

## Usage

To use the link serializer for the command-line or the link status generator, you need the following entries in your sitemap:

    <map:components>
      <map:serializers>
        <map:serializer logger="sitemap.serializer.links" name="links"
                        src="org.apache.cocoon.serialization.LinkSerializer" />
      </map:serializers>
    </map:components>

    <map:views>
      <map:view from-position="last" name="links">
        <map:serialize type="links" />
      </map:view>
    </map:views>
