This interface extends org.xml.sax.Attributes and adds methods for determining if an attribute was declared in the DTD and whether an attribute value was explicitly specified in the document or whether a default value from the DTD was used. If the SAX implementation supports this interface, the Attributes object passed to the startElement( ) method of the ContentHandler implements this interface. You can also test for support by querying the feature named "http://xml.org/sax/features/use-attributes2" with XMLReader.getFeature( ).
