I suggest we define a method like
public void storeDataMap(java.io.PrintWriter out, DataMap map)
in MapLoader interface instead of
public StringBuffer storeDataMap(DataMap map);
to allow maximum flexibility and performance. PrintWriter can wrap any
underline data storage (StringBuffer, OutputStream etc.) and has methods
that are as convenient for serial access as StringBuffer.append();
