        Write the tree to a filename, file or file-like object.

        Defaults to ASCII encoding and writing a declaration as needed.

        The keyword argument 'method' selects the output method:
        'xml', 'html', 'text', 'c14n' or 'c14n2'.  Default is 'xml'.

        With ``method="c14n"`` (C14N version 1), the options ``exclusive``,
        ``with_comments`` and ``inclusive_ns_prefixes`` request exclusive
        C14N, include comments, and list the inclusive prefixes respectively.

        With ``method="c14n2"`` (C14N version 2), the ``with_comments`` and
        ``strip_text`` options control the output of comments and text space
        according to C14N 2.0.

        Passing a boolean value to the ``standalone`` option will
        output an XML declaration with the corresponding
        ``standalone`` flag.

        The ``doctype`` option allows passing in a plain string that will
        be serialised before the XML tree.  Note that passing in non
        well-formed content here will make the XML output non well-formed.
        Also, an existing doctype in the document tree will not be removed
        when serialising an ElementTree instance.

        The ``compression`` option enables GZip compression level 1-9.

        The ``inclusive_ns_prefixes`` should be a list of namespace strings
        (i.e. ['xs', 'xsi']) that will be promoted to the top-level element
        during exclusive C14N serialisation.  This parameter is ignored if
        exclusive mode=False.

        If exclusive=True and no list is provided, a namespace will only be
        rendered if it is used by the immediate parent or one of its attributes
        and its prefix and values have not already been rendered by an ancestor
        of the namespace node's parent element.

    Serialize an element to an encoded string representation of its XML
    tree.

    Defaults to ASCII encoding without XML declaration.  This
    behaviour can be configured with the keyword arguments 'encoding'
    (string) and 'xml_declaration' (bool).  Note that changing the
    encoding to a non UTF-8 compatible encoding will enable a
    declaration by default.

    You can also serialise to a Unicode string without declaration by
    passing the name ``'unicode'`` as encoding (or the ``str`` function
    in Py3 or ``unicode`` in Py2).  This changes the return value from
    a byte string to an unencoded unicode string.

    The keyword argument 'pretty_print' (bool) enables formatted XML.

    The keyword argument 'method' selects the output method: 'xml',
    'html', plain 'text' (text content without tags), 'c14n' or 'c14n2'.
    Default is 'xml'.

    With ``method="c14n"`` (C14N version 1), the options ``exclusive``,
    ``with_comments`` and ``inclusive_ns_prefixes`` request exclusive
    C14N, include comments, and list the inclusive prefixes respectively.

    With ``method="c14n2"`` (C14N version 2), the ``with_comments`` and
    ``strip_text`` options control the output of comments and text space
    according to C14N 2.0.

    Passing a boolean value to the ``standalone`` option will output
    an XML declaration with the corresponding ``standalone`` flag.

    The ``doctype`` option allows passing in a plain string that will
    be serialised before the XML tree.  Note that passing in non
    well-formed content here will make the XML output non well-formed.
    Also, an existing doctype in the document tree will not be removed
    when serialising an ElementTree instance.

    You can prevent the tail text of the element from being serialised
    by passing the boolean ``with_tail`` option.  This has no impact
    on the tail text of children, which will always be serialised.

    and then pass them efficiently into lxml for further processing.

    If a ``parser`` is provided, it will be used for configuring the
    lxml document.  No parsing will be done.

    The capsule must have the name ``"libxml2:xmlDoc"`` and its pointer
    value must reference a correct libxml2 document of type ``xmlDoc*``.
    The creator of the capsule must take care to correctly clean up the
    document using an appropriate capsule destructor.  By default, the
    libxml2 document will be copied to let lxml safely own the memory
    of the internal tree that it uses.

    If the capsule context is non-NULL, it must point to a C string that
    can be compared using ``strcmp()``.  If the context string equals
    ``"destructor:xmlFreeDoc"``, the libxml2 document will not be copied
    but the capsule invalidated instead by clearing its destructor and

    without creating a copy first, and the capsule destructor will not be
    called.  The document will then eventually be cleaned up by lxml using
    the libxml2 API function ``xmlFreeDoc()`` once it is no longer used.

    should not be attempted after transferring the ownership.
