Smooks Cartridges

The basic functionality of Smooks Core can be extended through the creation of what we call a "Smooks Cartridge". A Cartridge is simply a Java archive (jar) containing reusable Content Handlers (Visitor Logic). A Smooks Cartridge should provide "ready to use" support for a specific type of XML analysis or transformation.
