Chapter 12. Extending Smooks
12.1. APIs in Smooks
Note
Since JBoss Fuse 6.3, the Smooks component for SwitchYard is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of JBoss Fuse.
APIs
All existing Smooks functionality (Java Binding, EDI processing etc) is built through the extension of a number of well defined APIs.
The main extension points/APIs in Smooks are Reader and Visitor APIs:
- Reader APIs
- Those for processing Source/Input data (Readers) so as to make it consumable by other Smooks components as a series of well defined hierarchical events (based on the SAX event model) for all of the message fragments and sub-fragments.
- Visitor APIs
- Those for consuming the message fragment SAX Events produced by a Source/Input Reader.
