SMBufferable

All Known Implementing Classes:

SMBufferedElement, SMBufferedFragment
```
public interface SMBufferable
```
Interface that denotes output objects (fragments, elements) that explicitly start their life-cycle as buffered (other objects can be implicitly buffered due to explict ones as parents or previous siblings).

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`isBuffered()`
`void`	`linkParent(SMOutputContainer parent, boolean blocked)`	Method called by a container when bufferable item is linked as its child.
`void`	`release()`	Method called to signal that the node need not be buffered any more (if not required to do so by parent/children restrictions)

- Method Detail
  - release
```
void release()
      throws javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException
```
    Method called to signal that the node need not be buffered any more (if not required to do so by parent/children restrictions)
    
    Throws:
    
    javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException
  - isBuffered
```
boolean isBuffered()
```
    Returns:
    
    True if this object is still buffered; false if not
  - linkParent
```
void linkParent(SMOutputContainer parent,
                boolean blocked)
         throws javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException
```
    Method called by a container when bufferable item is linked as its child. It should not only add parent linkage, but also do any output necessary, if this item is not buffered or blocked.
    
    Parameters:
    
    parent - Container to attach bufferable instance under
    
    blocked - If true, parent output is blocked (and as the result so is bufferable's); if false, parent is (and will remain) unblocked.
    
    Throws:
    
    javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException
