Class GMLReader


  • public class GMLReader
    extends Object
    Reads a GML2 geometry from an XML fragment into a Geometry.

    An example of the GML2 format handled is:

       <LineString>
            <coordinates>
                    24824.045318333192,38536.15071012041
                    26157.378651666528,37567.42733944659 26666.666,36000.0
                    26157.378651666528,34432.57266055341
                    24824.045318333192,33463.84928987959
                    23175.954681666804,33463.84928987959
                    21842.621348333472,34432.57266055341 21333.333,36000.0
                    21842.621348333472,37567.42733944659
                    23175.954681666808,38536.15071012041
            </coordinates>
      </LineString>
     
    The reader ignores namespace prefixes, and disables both the validation and namespace options on the SAXParser. This class requires the presence of a SAX Parser available via the SAXParserFactory.newInstance() method.

    A specification of the GML XML format can be found at the OGC web site: http://www.opengeospatial.org/.

    It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the supplied PrecisionModel matches the precision of the incoming data. If a lower precision for the data is required, a subsequent process must be run on the data to reduce its precision.

    To parse and build geometry directly from a SAX stream, see GMLHandler.
