Interface Parser

All Known Implementing Classes:

GenericDOMParser, JaxpDOMParser, XercesDOMParser

public interface Parser

The Parser interface abstracts the behavior which the org.eigenbase.xom package needs from an XML parser.

If you don't care which implementation you get, call XOMUtil.createDefaultParser() to create a parser.
