Class XMLCharacterData


  • public class XMLCharacterData
    extends Object
    This module contains data regarding the classification of characters in XML 1.0 and XML 1.1, and a number of interrogative methods to support queries on this data.

    For characters in the BMP, the information is tabulated by means of an array of one-byte entries, one for each character, with bit-significant property settings. For characters outside the BMP, the rules are built in to the interrogative methods.
