public class NodeFactory

extends java.lang.Object

implements java.io.Serializable

This class specifies methods to create various nodes of the DOM tree built during parsing. Applications can override these methods to create their own custom classes to be added to the DOM tree while parsing. Applications have to register their own NodeFactory using the XMLParser's setNodeFactory() method. If a null pointer is returned by these methods, then the node will not be added to the DOM tree.
