## com.vividsolutions.jts.io.gml2
Class GMLReader

    java.lang.Object
      com.vividsolutions.jts.io.gml2.GMLReader

public class GMLReader
extends java.lang.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

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`.
