Direct Known Subclasses:

XmlDataContext

public class XmlDomDataContext
extends QueryPostprocessDataContext

A DataContext strategy that reads XML content and maps it to a table-based model similar to the rest of MetaModel. Tables are created by examining the data in the XML file, NOT by reading XML Schemas (xsd/dtd's). This enables compliancy with ALL xml formats but also raises a risk that two XML files with the same format wont nescesarily yield the same table model if some optional attributes or tags are omitted in one of the files. The parsing method applied in this datacontext is DOM based, which means that at upon parsing (only a single point in time), the whole file will be read and it's tree structure kept in memory. Therefore this DataContext is NOT appropriate for large XML files (10's, 100's or 1000's of megabytes).
