Class XMLPeerBuilder
java.lang.Object
org.biojava.utils.xml.XMLPeerBuilder
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
- public class XMLPeerBuilder
- extends java.lang.Object
- implements org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler
SAX DocumentHandler which uses an XMLPeerFactory to construct
Java objects reflecting an XML document. The XMLPeerBuilder
system takes a depth-first approach to constructing the Object
tree. This means that, before attempting to construct an
Object to represent a particular element, it first constructs
Objects for all child elelments.
Currently, Text nodes are automatically converted to Java strings
and treated as normal children. Treatment of Text may be
configurable in a future release.
