+ *
+ * The topological sorted WXR reader class. This is an extension of the

+ *
+ * ## Implementation
+ *
+ * We create a custom table that contains the IDs and the new IDs created in the
+ * target system sorted in the parent-child order.

- * The topological sorter class. We create a custom table that contains the WXR
- * IDs and the mapped IDs. Everytime an entity is processed, we add it to the
- * table. The first time we process an entity, it is mapped to the original ID
- * and no mapped ID. From the second time, it is mapped to the mapped ID.
- *
- * When the WP_Entity_Importer or similar class read raw data from the source
- * stream that is used to map the original IDs to the mapped IDs.
- *
- * The first STAGE_TOPOLOGICAL_SORT stage do save all the entities with no
- * mapped IDs. So during the STAGE_IMPORT_ENTITIES step the WP_Entity_Importer
- * or similar class read already inserted data and save them. From that moment
- * all the entities have the IDs created using wp_insert_post(),
- * wp_insert_comment(), wp_insert_term(), wp_insert_comment_meta(),
- * wp_insert_post_meta() and wp_insert_term_meta() calls.
