## Class DataStream

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.fop.afp.DataStream

-     public class DataStream
      extends Object

  A data stream is a continuous ordered stream of data elements and objects conforming to a given format. Application programs can generate data streams destined for a presentation service, archive library, presentation device or another application program. The strategic presentation data stream architectures used is Mixed Object Document Content Architecture (MO:DCA). The MO:DCA architecture defines the data stream used by applications to describe documents and object envelopes for interchange with other applications and application services. Documents defined in the MO:DCA format may be archived in a database, then later retrieved, viewed, annotated and printed in local or distributed systems environments. Presentation fidelity is accommodated by including resource objects in the documents that reference them.
