Class ParseState

    java.lang.Object
      org.springframework.beans.factory.parsing.ParseState

    public final class ParseState

extends Object

Simple `Stack`-based structure for tracking the logical position during a parsing process. `entries` are added to the stack at each point during the parse phase in a reader-specific manner.

Calling `toString()` will render a tree-style view of the current logical position in the parse phase. This representation is intended for use in error messages.
