public abstract class XmlRepresentation
extends WriterRepresentation
implements javax.xml.namespace.NamespaceContext

Representation based on an XML document. It knows how to evaluate XPath expressions and how to manage a namespace context. This class also offers convenient methods to validate the document against a specified XML scheme.

SECURITY WARNING: Using XML parsers configured to not prevent nor limit document type definition (DTD) entity resolution can expose the parser to an XML Entity Expansion injection attack.
