| <p>This package implements stream- and URI- specific transformation APIs. |
| </p> |
| <p>The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource} class |
| provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.InputStream} input, |
| {@link java.io.Reader} input, and URL input in the form of strings. Even |
| if an input stream or reader is specified as the source, |
| {@link 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 |
| {@link javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator} information.</p> |
| <p>The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult} class |
| provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.OutputStream}, |
| {@link java.io.Writer}, or an output system ID, as the output of the |
| transformation result.</p> |
| <p>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.</p> |
