Package javax.xml.transform.stream
This package implements stream- and URI- specific transformation APIs.
StreamResult | Acts as an holder for a transformation result,
which may be XML, plain Text, HTML, or some other form of markup. |
StreamSource | Acts as an holder for a transformation Source in the form
of a stream of XML markup. |
This package implements stream- and URI- specific transformation APIs.
The
StreamSource
class
provides methods for specifying
java.io.InputStream
input,
java.io.Reader
input, and URL input in the form of strings. Even
if an input stream or reader is specified as the source,
javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource.setSystemId
should still
be called, so that the transformer can know from where it should resolve
relative URIs. The public identifier is always optional: if the application
writer includes one, it will be provided as part of the
SourceLocator
information.
The
StreamResult
class
provides methods for specifying
java.io.OutputStream
,
java.io.Writer
, or an output system ID, as the output of the
transformation result.
Normally streams should be used rather than readers or writers, for
both the Source and Result, since readers and writers already have the encoding
established to and from the internal Unicode format. However, there are times
when it is useful to write to a character stream, such as when using a
StringWriter in order to write to a String, or in the case of reading source
XML from a StringReader.
