XOM: is Builder.build() thread safe?

Question

Is Builder.build() thread safe? I couldn't find any info in XOM Javadoc.

Not sure, but the slide at http://www.xom.nu/whatswrong/img23.html says (in a very general way) "Not thread safe". — Eli Acherkan, Sep 01 '11 at 06:40

Builder doesn't tell us that one of the builder methods is thread-safe and we have no reason to assume it: the methods are not synchronized (look at the code) and the class uses the first available parser and delegates the work.

So we should avoid sharing one instance of nu.xom.Builder between different threads.
