About existing APIs, javax.xml.transform addresses part of it (it
doesn't have stream inspection though) but it often perceived as
difficult to grasp from the simple fact that you have to wire the
pipeline backwards, starting with the serializer.
Ok, but... (bear with my my ignorance a bit more) is *that* difficult
to develop such an API ?
I mean, the classes dealing with the sitemap are already doing that,
isn't just a matter of spreading an API over them ?
Oh, I don't think it's a giant task, and what we wrote in this thread is
pretty close to the current pipeline interface [1]. But it was designed
as support code for the sitemap because this was the target goal, and
thus it contains some "sitemap-isms". We probably need to polish it by
thinking the other way around, i.e. start aim at a clean Java API on top
of which we can add and XML language... if we want.
