18 
 * <p>This is the original SAX1 interface for reporting an element's
19 
 * attributes.  Unlike the new {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes Attributes}
20 
 * interface, it does not support Namespace-related information.</p>
21 
 *
22 
 * <p>When an attribute list is supplied as part of a
23 
 * {@link org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler#startElement startElement}
24 
 * event, the list will return valid results only during the
25 
 * scope of the event; once the event handler returns control
26 
 * to the parser, the attribute list is invalid.  To save a
27 
 * persistent copy of the attribute list, use the SAX1
28 
 * {@link org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl AttributeListImpl}
29 
 * helper class.</p>
30 
 *
31 
 * <p>An attribute list includes only attributes that have been
32 
 * specified or defaulted: #IMPLIED attributes will not be included.</p>
33 
 *
34 
 * <p>There are two ways for the SAX application to obtain information
35 
 * from the AttributeList.  First, it can iterate through the entire
36 
 * list:</p>
37 
 *
38 
 * <pre>
39 
 * public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts) {
40 
 *   for (int i = 0; i < atts.getLength(); i++) {
41 
 *     String name = atts.getName(i);
42 
 *     String type = atts.getType(i);
43 
 *     String value = atts.getValue(i);
44 
 *     [...]
45 
 *   }
46 
 * }
47 
 * </pre>
48 
 *
49 
 * <p>(Note that the result of getLength() will be zero if there
50 
 * are no attributes.)
51 
 *
52 
 * <p>As an alternative, the application can request the value or
53 
 * type of specific attributes:</p>
54 
 *
55 
 * <pre>
56 
 * public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts) {
57 
 *   String identifier = atts.getValue("id");
58 
 *   String label = atts.getValue("label");
59 
 *   [...]
60 
 * }
61 
 * </pre>
62 
 *
63 
 * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2
64 
 *             {@link org.xml.sax.Attributes Attributes}
65 
 *             interface, which includes Namespace support.
