+/**
+ * Serializes a DOM subtree or DOM document into XML/XHTML.
+ *
+ * It understands documents generated by `parse5` and regular browser DOMs (and
+ * thus can act as a drop-in replacement for `XMLSerializer` which for some
+ * browsers only serializes true XML documents).
+ *
+ * Currently some cases are treated differently to the `XMLSerializer`
+ * implementation of the browsers:
+ *
+ * - Invalid characters (ASCII control characters) that are invalid in XML 1.0
+ * are removed on serialization. The browsers silently include those
+ * characters and on reparsing those documents throw a parser exception.
+ * - Dashes in comments are escaped to provide valid comments in XHTML. Firefox
+ * does not do this.
+ * - The xmlns attribute has higher precedence than the type of the DOM object
+ * passed to the serializer.
+ * - Small differences in style: no space in self-closing tag, empty value for
+ * boolean attributes, quoting of single apostrophes in attribute values.
+ *
+ * This behaviour might become optional in the future.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * import * as xmlserializer from 'xmlserializer';
+ * import * as parse5 from 'parse5';
+ *
+ * const html2xhtml = (htmlString: string) => {
+ *    const dom = parse5.parse(htmlString);
+ *    return xmlserializer.serializeToString(dom);
+ * };
+ *
+ * console.log(html2xhtml('<br>'));
+ *
+ * @param node the DOM element to be serialized to XML/XHTML
+ */
