Change table builder API to be more generic #24

Closed mysticfall closed 11 years ago

mysticfall commented 11 years ago

Currently, the table builder API mandate developers to implement specific interfaces for each UI type - table, rows, and cells - which is not suitable for certain type of usage, i.e. building a XML DOM tree.

We need a more flexible API to handle such use cases.

Maybe we can make something like SAX parser's callback interface(ContentHandler) first and use it as a base for th both kind of approches - 'renderer' type API which generate markup output and 'model' type API which construct a model tree representing the CellSet.
