XML Pipeline - Pipe Granularity

Pipe Granularity

Different XML Pipeline implementations support different granularity of flow.

  • Document: Whole documents flow through the pipe as atomic units. A document can only be in one place at a time. Though usually multiple documents may be in the pipe at once.
  • Event: Element/Text nodes events may flow through different paths. A document may be concurrently flowing through many components at the same time.

Famous quotes containing the word pipe:

    “Pretty friendship ‘tis to rhyme
    Your friends to death before their time
    Moping melancholy mad:
    Come, pipe a tune to dance to, lad.””
