Package javolution.xml.stream

StAX-like XML readers/writers which do not require object creation (such as String) and are consequently faster than standard StAX.

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
Location	Provides information on the location of an event.
NamespaceContext	This interface represents the XML namespace context stack while parsing.
XMLInputFactory	The OSGi factory service to create XMLStreamReader instances.
XMLOutputFactory	The OSGi factory service to create XMLStreamWriter instances.
XMLStreamConstants	This interface declares the constants used in this API.
XMLStreamReader	This interface is similar to javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamReader; but it does not forces dynamic allocation when parsing (its methods returns CharArray instances instead of String).
XMLStreamWriter	This interface is similar to javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamWriter; but it does not forces dynamic allocation when formatting (any CharSequence can be used instead of String).

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
XMLStreamException	This class represents the base exception for unexpected processing errors.

Package javolution.xml.stream Description

StAX-like XML readers/writers which do not require object creation (such as String) and are consequently faster than standard StAX.

The main difference with "javax.xml.stream.*" classes is the integration with OSGi to retrieve XMLInputFactory/XMLOutputFactory instances and the use of CharSequence instead of String. Since String is a CharSequence (JDK 1.4+), most existing StAX code requires very little modification to be used with these new classes.

For more information about the usage of this package please read the documentation for the XMLStreamReader and XMLStreamWriter interfaces.
