Package sirius.kernel.xml Description

Helper classes to read and write XML.

One central class in here is the XMLReader which is responsible for reading large XML files, by splitting them into sub DOMs and processing them via xpath (StructuredNode)

Additionally classes for reading and writing XML of "normal" size (i.e. for web service calls) are provided as XMLStructuredInput and XMLStructuredOutput best used via XMLCall
