/**
9
 * Interface for an element's attribute specifications.

 *
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 * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2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.
66
 * @since SAX 1.0
