Readers and Writers

All the work of mapping is done by objects that implement DataReader<Format> and DataWriter<Format>, where 'Format' is a representation class as defined above. CXF code obtains readers and writers from data binding objects via

<T> DataReader<T> createReader(Class<T> cls); 
<T> DataWriter<T> createWriter(Class<T> cls);

Such a call might look like:

   DataReader<XMLStreamReader> reader = binding.createReader(XMLStreamReader.class);
