Interface DOMAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:
AbstractDOMAdapter, CrimsonDOMAdapter, JAXPDOMAdapter, OracleV1DOMAdapter, OracleV2DOMAdapter, XercesDOMAdapter, XML4JDOMAdapter

public interface DOMAdapter

Defines a standard set of adapter methods for interfacing with a DOM parser and obtaining a DOM org.w3c.dom.Document object. Implementing classes map these calls to DOM parser-specific calls, allowing any third-party parser to be used with JDOM.
