[shrinkwrap-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (SHRINKDESC-45) Import XML to generic Node structure should be public API

[Andrew Rubinger (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SHRINKDESC-45?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12624107#comment-12624107 ] 

Andrew Rubinger commented on SHRINKDESC-45:
-------------------------------------------

This is not currently an API, but represented in the SPI.  Probably the API view could be what's described in SHRINKDESC-44, without any "Node" grammars.

> XMLImporter should probably be public, and provide a few convenience methods to build an ad-hoc Node graph.
> XMLImporter.asNodes(InputStream stream);
> XMLImporter.asNodes(String xml);
> XMLImporter.asNodes(byte[] xml);
> This would make Descriptors useful as a pure XML manipulation library, and provide a nice path to entry for new users. A nice appealing feature to get people to use it in their projects.
