12.17. Implementing a Source Reader

You can implement a source reader for your custom data format which immediately opens all Smooks capabilities to that data format such as Java Binding, Templating, Persistence, Validation, Splitting, Routing etc. The only Smooks requirement is that the Reader implements the standard org.xml.sax.XMLReader interface from the Java JDK. However, if you want to be able to configure the Reader implementation, it needs to implement the org.milyn.xml.SmooksXMLReader interface. org.milyn.xml.SmooksXMLReader is an extension of org.xml.sax.XMLReader. You can easily use an existing org.xml.sax.XMLReader implementation, or implement a new one.
