Business object parsing mode

Integration Designer provides a property on modules and libraries you can use to configure XML parsing mode for business objects to either eager or lazy.

• If the option is set to eager, XML byte streams are eagerly parsed to create the business object.

• If the option is set to lazy, the business object is created normally, but the actual parsing of the XML byte stream is deferred and partially parsed only when the business object properties are accessed.

In either XML parsing mode, non-XML data is always eagerly parsed to create the business object.
