Ultimately all it wants is XML data and so I think it would be reasonable to provide an interface that accepts data in a more general form.  If it could take an InputStream for example, then FXML that was machine generated wouldn't need to go to an intermediate file in order to load.

The reason I'd advise against doing this at runtime is that parsing and
converting SVG to FXML is not as simple as it might look like.

And like Greg and I already replied to your there is an API that accepts
an InputStream but for that you'd need to create an instance of
FXMLLoader instead of using the static methods.
