Class NodeBuilder


  • public final class NodeBuilder
    extends java.lang.Object
    The NodeBuilder object is used to create either an input node or an output node for a given source or destination. If an InputNode is required for reading an XML document then a reader must be provided to read the content from.

    If an OutputNode is required then a destination is required. The provided output node can be used to generate well formed XML to the specified writer.
