| <h3>1. INTRODUCTION</h3> |
| |
| <p> |
| This scope of the <em>Digester</em> component is primarily |
| oriented to XML -> Java object mapping. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| A <em>Digester</em> processes an XML input stream by matching a |
| series of element nesting patterns to execute Rules that have been added |
| prior to the start of parsing. This package was inspired by the |
| <code>XmlMapper</code> class that was part of Tomcat 3.0 and 3.1, |
| but is organized somewhat differently. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| The original source was donated by the |
| <a href="http://jakarta.apache.org/struts">Struts Framework</a> subproject. |
