Method Detail

create

Infoset<T> create(java.nio.channels.ReadableByteChannel channel)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Infoset<T> create(java.net.URL url)
                  throws java.io.IOException

Creates an infoset that will, when accessed, parse the content from the provided InputStream. Once parsed, the content will be cached, so anything that wishes to modify the resulting Document must clone it first.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

adaptTo

<V> Infoset<V> adaptTo(java.lang.Class<V> clazz,
                       Infoset<T> infoset)

Converts an instance of the provided Infoset type to the native type for this factory. If the factory does not support the conversion, it should return null.
