Package javax.xml.stream
Defines interfaces and classes for the Streaming API for XML (StAX).
StAX provides two basic functions: the cursor API allowing users to read and write XML efficiently, and the event iterator API promoting ease of use that is event based, easy to extend and pipeline. The event iterator API is intended to layer on top of the cursor API.
The cursor API defines two interfaces: XMLStreamReader and XMLStreamWriter, while the event iterator API defines: XMLEventReader and XMLEventWriter.
StAX supports plugability with XMLInputFactory and XMLOutputFactory that define how an implementation is located through a process as described in the newFactory method.

| Interface | Description |
|---|---|
| EventFilter | This interface declares a simple filter interface that one can create to filter XMLEventReaders |
| Location | Provides information on the location of an event. |
| StreamFilter | This interface declares a simple filter interface that one can create to filter XMLStreamReaders |
| XMLEventReader | This is the top level interface for parsing XML Events. |
| XMLEventWriter | This is the top level interface for writing XML documents. |
| XMLReporter | This interface is used to report non-fatal errors. |
| XMLResolver | This interface is used to resolve resources during an XML parse. |
| XMLStreamConstants | This interface declares the constants used in this API. |
| XMLStreamReader | The XMLStreamReader interface allows forward, read-only access to XML. |
| XMLStreamWriter | The XMLStreamWriter interface specifies how to write XML. |
