Provide common parsers in a consistent fashion

Description

« Hide

We have both some text parsing (CQL and WKT) and XML parsing (filter, gml) incoming. This proposal outlines how we can be consistent in terms of package structure.

CQL - Catalogue Query Language - currently an unsupported module
XML - Extensible Markup Language - we are forced to run our own parser due to scaling issues
WKT - Well Known Text - we already support CRS definition, we need one for Parsing Geometry

For details please see the wiki:

Discussion welcome.

Comment left on wiki by Justin:

+1 on the xml packing naming structure. One question though is how to do versions. Shall the version number just be tacked onto the end. Examples being:

org.geotools.xml.filter.v1_0
org.geotools.xml.filter.v1_1
org.geotools.xml.gml.v2
org.geotools.xml.gml.v3
Or shall the version be incorporated in one level up like:

org.geotools.xml.filter1_0
org.geotools.xml.filter1_1
org.geotools.xml.gml2
org.geotools.xml.gml3

Asked for justins review - switched to the "version" slot being an indication of SPECIFICATION

-org.geotools.filter.text
-org.geotools.filter.xml.filter1_0
-org.geotools.filter.text.filter1_1
-org.geotools.geometry.text
-org.geotools.geometry.xml.gml2
-org.geotools.geometry.xml.gml3

Which at least puts gml2 and gml3 back in the picture. Sent it off for review and vote :-D
