This package defines extensions to the basic SAX2 API. Neither SAX parsers nor SAX applications are required to support these extensions, but when they do, the interfaces defined here provide a standard way for the parser to provide additional information about an XML document to the application. DeclHandler defines methods for reporting the content of a DTD, and LexicalHandler defines methods for reporting the lexical structure of an XML document.

In Java 5.0 adopts "SAX2 Extensions 1.1" and adds three new interfaces to this package: Attributes2, EntityResolver2, and Locator2. Each extends a similarly named interface from the core org.xml.sax package.

Interfaces

public interface Attributes2 extends org.xml.sax.Attributes;
public interface DeclHandler;
public interface EntityResolver2 extends org.xml.sax.EntityResolver;
public interface LexicalHandler;
public interface Locator2 extends org.xml.sax.Locator;

Classes

public class Attributes2Impl extends org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl 
        implements Attributes2;
public class DefaultHandler2 extends org.xml.sax.helpers.DefaultHandler 
        implements DeclHandler, EntityResolver2, LexicalHandler;
public class Locator2Impl extends org.xml.sax.helpers.LocatorImpl 
        implements Locator2;
