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:

    “I am dead against art’s being self-expression. I see an inherent failure in any story which fails to detach itself from the author—detach itself in the sense that a well-blown soap-bubble detaches itself from the bowl of the blower’s pipe and spherically takes off into the air as a new, whole, pure, iridescent world. Whereas the ill-blown bubble, as children know, timidly adheres to the bowl’s lip, then either bursts or sinks flatly back again.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
