Last update: 2014-05-21

The class javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory is a root component of the Java StAX API. From this class you can create both an XMLStreamReader and an XMLEventReader. Here are two examples:

XMLInputFactory factory = XMLInputFactory.newInstance();

XMLEventReader eventReader =
    factory.createXMLEventReader(
        new FileReader("data\\test.xml"));

XMLStreamReader streamReader =
    factory.createXMLStreamReader(
        new FileReader("data\\test.xml"));

XMLInputFactory Properties

You can set various properties on the XMLInputFactory instance using the setProperty() method. Here is an example:

factory.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.IS_NAMESPACE_AWARE, true);

For a full list of properties and their meaning, see the official JavaDoc (in Java 6) for the StAX API.
