5.37 XMLReaderService

The XMLReaderService allows XML files to be read using a StAX stream reader.

The Streaming API for XML (StAX) is an API for pull-parsing XML.

The streaming API gives parsing control to the programmer by exposing a simple iterator-based API.

This allows the programmer to ask for the next event (pull the event) and allows state to be stored in a procedural fashion.

The XMLReaderService uses the Woodstox API.

The XMLReaderService supports the following commands:

• 5.37.1 SERVICE_LOAD
• 5.37.2 SERVICE_GET
• 5.37.3 SET
• 5.37.4 OPEN
• 5.37.5 NEXT
• 5.37.6 CLOSE
• 5.37.7 SERVICE_UNLOAD
