XMLObjectSource (OpenSAML :: Core 4.0.1 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.opensaml.core.xml.util.XMLObjectSource

```
public class XMLObjectSource
extends Object
```
A bean class which can be optionally used to represent the original source byte[] from which an XMLObject was parsed and unmarshalled.
It will typically be attached to an XML object via its XMLObject.getObjectMetadata().

This may be optionally used by some components to re-persist the object in a more performant manner, at the expense of carrying the additional in-memory storage.

If present, it will be removed from the object when the object is mutated. See AbstractXMLObject.releaseDOM(), which is invoked by the various overloaded prepareForAssignment methods there.
