Class GMLReader

java.lang.Object
org.locationtech.jts.io.gml2.GMLReader
public class GMLReader extends Object
Reads a GML2 geometry from an XML fragment into a Geometry.

An example of the GML2 format handled is: 

  <LineString>
        <coordinates>
                24824.045318333192,38536.15071012041
                26157.378651666528,37567.42733944659 26666.666,36000.0
                26157.378651666528,34432.57266055341
                24824.045318333192,33463.84928987959
                23175.954681666804,33463.84928987959
                21842.621348333472,34432.57266055341 21333.333,36000.0
                21842.621348333472,37567.42733944659
                23175.954681666808,38536.15071012041
        </coordinates>
 </LineString>
The reader ignores namespace prefixes, and disables both the validation and namespace options on the SAXParser. This class requires the presence of a SAX Parser available via the SAXParserFactory.newInstance() method.

A specification of the GML XML format can be found at the OGC web site: http://www.opengeospatial.org/.

It is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the supplied PrecisionModel matches the precision of the incoming data. If a lower precision for the data is required, a subsequent process must be run on the data to reduce its precision.

To parse and build geometry directly from a SAX stream, see GMLHandler.
