package McKae.XML.EZ_Out.String_Stream is

   --  A basic in-memory string-based XML document construction
   --  utility.  This is not intended to be a robust, full-function
   --  memory buffering package.

   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   --  This nested package provides a basic string-based buffering
   --  capability.  The purpose of the EZ_Out String_Stream package is
   --  to provide a simple means of constructing an XML document in a
   --  memory buffer.  To do this, a memory buffering capability was
   --  needed--there were three approaches:
   --
   --  o Locate and employ an existing memory buffering component,
   --  modifying it as needed to provide the required Put and New_Line
   --  functions
   --  o Write a McKae component to do memory buffering and reference
   --  it in this package.
   --  o Embed a memory buffering capability within the String_Stream
   --  package.
   --
   --  The first option was discarded not because there's anything
   --  wrong with existing memory buffer components, but rather
   --  because of questions about which one should be chosen, what are
   --  its distribution and modification requirements, and so on.  The
   --  truth of the matter is that this approach is what a project
   --  using EZ_Out for a project actually ought to do--take their
   --  memory buffering capability, enhance it with Put and New_Line
   --  functionality, and then instantiate EZ_Out.Generic_Medium with
   --  it.
   --
   --  The second option was discarded because the focus of EZ_Out is
   --  on XML document generation, not providing a general purpose
   --  memory buffering component.  While a limited capability one
   --  could have been created, it would be over-specific to EZ_Out
   --  and its (intentional) limitations would distract from its
   --  intended use as an EZ_Out adjunct package.
   --
   --  This left the third option.  By embedding the above-mentioned
   --  limited capability memory buffering capability within
   --  String_Stream, it's clearly associated as just an aspect of the
   --  String_Stream implementation, as any relevant capabilities
   --  are simply exported by the String_Stream package.
