This package contains utility classes that are useful for programmers working with SAX parsers. DefaultHandler is the most commonly used: it is a default implementation of the four standard handler interfaces, suitable for easy subclassing by an application. XMLReaderFactory provides a layer implementation-independence, allowing an application to use an XMLReader implementation specified in a system property. XMLFilterImpl is a no-op implementation of the XMLFilter interface that also implements the various handler interfaces necessary to connect the filter to its "parent" XMLReader. It does no filtering of its own, but is easy to subclass to add filtering. If you need to work with legacy APIs that expect or return SAX1 Parser objects, you can use ParserAdapter to make a Parser object behave like a SAX2 XMLReader object, or use an XMLReaderAdapter to make an XMLReader behave like a Parser.
