Class GMLReader

java.lang.Object
- com.vividsolutions.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:
```
   
                  
        
                    
                      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 
                    
  
                  
 
```
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.
