interface Repeater extends Converter
The Repeater interface is used to for converters that can repeat a read on a given element. This is typically used for inline lists and maps so that the elements can be mixed within the containing element. This ensures a more liberal means of writing the XML such that elements not grouped in a containing XML element can be declared throughout the document.
