ExtensionDocumentationWriter
public class XmlDocumentationWriter extends AbstractDocumentationWriter
XML-based implementation of DocumentationWriter. Please note that while this class lives within the nifi-api, it is provided primarily as a means for documentation components within the NiFi NAR Maven Plugin. Its home is the nifi-api, however, because the API is needed in order to extract the relevant information and the NAR Maven Plugin cannot have a direct dependency on nifi-api (doing so would cause a circular dependency). By having this homed within the nifi-api, the Maven plugin is able to discover the class dynamically and invoke the one or two methods necessary to create the documentation. This is a new capability in 1.9.0 in preparation for the Extension Registry and therefore, you should NOTE WELL: At this time, while this class is part of nifi-api, it is still evolving and may change in a non-backward-compatible manner or even be removed from one incremental release to the next. Use at your own risk!
