[xmlenc-devel] XMLStream

[Pete C. <pe...@fi...>]

Hi guys,

I'm mostly just trying out the mailing list.

One question for Ernst: why did you name the class XMLStream instead of
XMLWriter? I think the latter is more appropriate, as you're obviously
using a Writer internally. For example, you have a getWriter() method
but no getStream() method.

If you're worried about conflicting with the name of our XmlWriter, I
don't think we need to worry about that. We should just choose the best
name. Anyway, we used different capitalization in XmlWriter.

Your proposal of setEscaping() and isEscaping() seems fine to me, though
I haven't encountered a need for this capability myself. If it seems
generally useful though, go ahead.

I didn't understand why you are planning this:

Could you elaborate on this thought some time?

Gratefully,

Pete Cassetta
