XML (Extensible Markup Language) Reader Parameters

The XML Reader works by mapping XML elements into FME features. These mappings are defined by an XML application called xfMap.

By extracting these mapping strategies into an xfMap document, the XML Reader is not tied to any particular XML format. Because of this, the XML Reader can read many disparate XML applications, ranging from GIS data to purchase orders. xfMap is described in more detail in xfMap.

Use Search Envelope

Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that intersect with the bounding box are returned.

If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.
