public class GMLReader
extends java.lang.Object

Reads a GML2 geometry from an XML fragment into a Geometry.

An example of the GML2 format handled is:

The reader ignores namespace prefixes, and disables both the validation and namespace options on the SAXParser. This class requires the presence of a SAX Parser available via the SAXParserFactory.newInstance() method.

A specification of the GML XML format can be found at the OGC web site: http://www.opengeospatial.org/.

It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the supplied PrecisionModel matches the precision of the incoming data. If a lower precision for the data is required, a subsequent process must be run on the data to reduce its precision.

To parse and build geometry directly from a SAX stream, see GMLHandler.
