public interface Parser

A parser or a factory capable to create an object from a string in the WKT format. The created objects may be Coordinate Reference Systems, Math Transforms or geometric objects for instance.

Parsing services may be provided by factories which implement this interface:

• org.apache.sis.referencing.factory.GeodeticObjectFactory#createFromWKT(String)
• org.apache.sis.referencing.operation.transform.DefaultMathTransformFactory#createFromWKT(String)

Similar services are also available as convenience static methods:

• org.apache.sis.referencing.CRS#fromWKT(String)
• org.apache.sis.geometry.Envelopes#fromWKT(CharSequence)
