Name
Package org.xml.sax
Synopsis
This
is the core package for SAX (Simple API
for XML) parsing of XML documents. SAX is an
“event-driven” API: a SAX parser
reads an XML document and generates a stream of “SAX
events” to describe the content of the document.
These “events” are actually method
calls made on one or more handler objects that the application has
registered with the parser. The XMLReader
interface defines the API that must be implemented by a SAX parser.
ContentHandler
, ErrorHandler
,
EntityResolver
, and DTDHandler
are interfaces that define handler objects. An application registers
objects that implement one or more of these interfaces with the
XMLReader
.
This package defines both the SAX1 and SAX2 interfaces. The
AttributesList
, DocumentHandler
and Parser
interfaces, as well as the
HandlerBase
class are part of the SAX1 API and are
now deprecated in favor of Attributes
,
ContentHandler
, XMLReader
, and
org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler
.
