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:

    “Pan’s Syrinx was a girl indeed,
    Though now she’s turned into a reed;
    From that dear reed Pan’s pipe does come,
    A pipe that strikes Apollo dumb;
    Nor flute, nor lute, nor gittern can
    So chant it, as the pipe of Pan;”
    —John Lyly (1553–1606)
