<p>
A transformer is the central point in a sitemap pipeline. Within a pipeline match, transformers consume SAX events and emit SAX events. Transformers are placed inside a pipeline match between a generator and a serializer. You can include several transformers within a pipeline match. Any pipeline match containing a generator and transformer must end with a serializer.

<p>
In the sitemap file, each transformer has a unique name which is mapped to a java class. One transformer name must be declared as the default transformer. Each transformer may have additional configuration information specified in child elements.
