Chapter 22. org.xml.sax and Subpackages
This chapter documents the
org.xml.sax
package and its subpackages.
org.xml.sax
defines the Simplified API for XML, or
SAX, a de facto standard for parsing XML documents. The
org.xml.sax.ext
package defines optional
extensions to the SAX API, and the
org.xml.sax.helpers
package defines helper classes
that are often useful with SAX.
These packages were added in Java 1.4 as “endorsed standards.” This means that they are part of the Java platform, but are not defined by Sun, which is why they have the “org.xml” prefix.
