[jdom-interest] Parsing multiple XML documents

[Michel Gutierrez]

That's quite true. 

The problem may be that the derived InputStream has to scan the xml flow to 
detect the end of the document (or the begining of the next document in the 
case of a file) and this may be cpu consuming.

For my own application, I made the choice to insert a page-break (^L = 0x0C) 
to separate documents within the file (in my case a network socket). This way
the custom InputStream is quick.
