Class TreeReceiver

java.lang.Object
net.sf.saxon.event.SequenceReceiver
net.sf.saxon.event.TreeReceiver
All Implemented Interfaces:
Result, Receiver
public class TreeReceiver extends SequenceReceiver
A TreeReceiver acts as a bridge between a SequenceReceiver, which can receive events for constructing any kind of sequence, and an ordinary Receiver, which only handles events relating to the building of trees. To do this, it has to process any items added to the sequence using the append() interface; all other events are passed through unchanged.

If atomic items are appended to the sequence, then adjacent atomic items are turned in to a text node by converting them to strings and adding a single space as a separator.

If a document node is appended to the sequence, then the document node is ignored and its children are appended to the sequence.

If any other node is appended to the sequence, then it is pushed to the result as a sequence of Receiver events, which may involve walking recursively through the contents of a tree.
