1.8. Cartridges

A cartridge is a Java archive (JAR) file that contains reusable content handlers. In most cases, you will not need to write large quantities of Java code for Smooks because some modules of functionality are included as cartridges. You can create new cartridges of your own to extend the smooks-core's basic functionality. Each cartridge provides ready-to-use support for either a transformation process or a specific form of XML analysis.
