All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`abstract java.lang.Object`	`build(XmlElement elt, java.lang.String type)`	Given an XmlElement, create and return an internal representation of it.
`XmlElement`	`generate(java.lang.Object in)`	Unable to generate XML by default.
`XmlBuilder`	`getDelegate()`	Return the delegate set by getDelegate().
`void`	`setDelegate(XmlBuilder delegate)`	Delegate builders can be used to build/generate for objects that are unknown by the current builder, as might be the case in a hierarchy of heterogeneous objects.

public abstract java.lang.Object build(XmlElement elt,

    Given an XmlElement, create and return an internal representation of it. Implementors should also provide a more type-specific version of this method:
    public Graph build (XmlElement elt, String type);
    Specified by:
    
    build in interface XmlBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.Exception
  - setDelegate
```
public void setDelegate(XmlBuilder delegate)
```
    Delegate builders can be used to build/generate for objects that are unknown by the current builder, as might be the case in a hierarchy of heterogeneous objects.
    
    Specified by:
    
    setDelegate in interface XmlBuilder
    
    See Also:
    
    CompositeBuilder
  - getDelegate
```
public XmlBuilder getDelegate()
```
    Return the delegate set by getDelegate().
  - generate
```
public XmlElement generate(java.lang.Object in)
                    throws java.lang.Exception
```
    Unable to generate XML by default.
    
    Specified by:
    
    generate in interface XmlBuilder
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - Unable to generate XML by default
    
    java.lang.Exception
