- All Known Implementing Classes:
- DefaultElementAssimilator
- public interface ElementAssimilator
Interface for assimilating a child element into a parent element.
Assimilation is an active process in which information from the
child element may be incorporated into the parent element. Assimilation is
more than just absorption of a child element by a parent element, because it
may result in essential changes to the object realized from
the parent element, or from the child element, or from both.
