Package nu.staldal.xtree Description

XTree is a lightweight tree representation of an XML document.

XTree is desiged to be compatible with SAX2. An XTree contains (almost) the same information as a SAX2 ContentHandler. It's easy to construct an XTree from SAX2 events using TreeBuilder and to serialize an XTree into SAX2 events using the Node.toSAX(org.xml.sax.ContentHandler) method.

Unlike DOM, XTree has no concept of a document, a document is equvivalent to its root element. It's not possible to distinguish between a complete document and a document fragment, both are simply representated by an Element.
