## Class XmlObjectFactory<T>

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.ElementFactory<T>
  - - org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.AbstractDocumentFactory<T>
    - - org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.DocumentFactory<T>
      - - org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.schema.XmlObjectFactory<T>

-     public class XmlObjectFactory<T>
      extends DocumentFactory<T>

  Factory class for creating new instances. Note that if a type can be inferred from the XML being loaded (for example, by recognizing the document element QName), then the instance returned by a factory will have the inferred type. Otherwise the Factory will returned an untyped document.
