public interface XMLDocumentHandler
The document handler interface defines callback methods to report information items in XML documents. Parser components interested in document information implement this interface and are registered as the document handler on the document source.
  • Method Details

    • startDocument

      void startDocument(XMLLocator locator, String encoding, NamespaceContext namespaceContext, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      The start of the document.
      Parameters:
      locator - The document locator, or null if the document location cannot be reported during the parsing of this document. However, it is strongly recommended that a locator be supplied that can at least report the system identifier of the document.
      encoding - The auto-detected IANA encoding name of the entity stream. This value will be null in those situations where the entity encoding is not auto-detected (e.g. internal entities or a document entity that is parsed from a java.io.Reader).
      namespaceContext - The namespace context in effect at the start of this document. This object represents the current context. Implementors of this class are responsible for copying the namespace bindings from the the current context (and its parent contexts) if that information is important.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • xmlDecl

      void xmlDecl(String version, String encoding, String standalone, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      Notifies of the presence of an XMLDecl line in the document. If present, this method will be called immediately following the startDocument call.
      Parameters:
      version - The XML version.
      encoding - The IANA encoding name of the document, or null if not specified.
      standalone - The standalone value, or null if not specified.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • doctypeDecl

      void doctypeDecl(String rootElement, String publicId, String systemId, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      Notifies of the presence of the DOCTYPE line in the document.
      Parameters:
      rootElement - The name of the root element.
      publicId - The public identifier if an external DTD or null if the external DTD is specified using SYSTEM.
      systemId - The system identifier if an external DTD, null otherwise.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • comment

      void comment(XMLString text, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      A comment.
      Parameters:
      text - The text in the comment.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by application to signal an error.
    • processingInstruction

      void processingInstruction(String target, XMLString data, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      A processing instruction. Processing instructions consist of a target name and, optionally, text data. The data is only meaningful to the application.

      Typically, a processing instruction's data will contain a series of pseudo-attributes. These pseudo-attributes follow the form of element attributes but are not parsed or presented to the application as anything other than text. The application is responsible for parsing the data.

      Parameters:
      target - The target.
      data - The data or null if none specified.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • startElement

      void startElement(QName element, XMLAttributes attributes, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      The start of an element.
      Parameters:
      element - The name of the element.
      attributes - The element attributes.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • emptyElement

      void emptyElement(QName element, XMLAttributes attributes, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      An empty element.
      Parameters:
      element - The name of the element.
      attributes - The element attributes.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • characters

      void characters(XMLString text, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      Character content.
      Parameters:
      text - The content.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
    • endElement

      void endElement(QName element, Augmentations augs) throws XNIException
      The end of an element.
      Parameters:
      element - The name of the element.
      augs - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
      Throws:
      XNIException - Thrown by handler to signal an error.
