<p> This package provides the core SAX APIs.
Some SAX1 APIs are deprecated to encourage integration of
namespace-awareness into designs of new applications
and into maintenance of existing infrastructure. </p>
 
<p>See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>
for more information about SAX.</p>
 
 
<h2> SAX2 Standard Feature Flags </h2>
 
<p> One of the essential characteristics of SAX2 is that it added
feature flags which can be used to examine and perhaps modify
parser modes, in particular modes such as validation.
Since features are identified by (absolute) URIs, anyone
can define such features.   
Currently defined standard feature URIs have the prefix
<code>http://xml.org/sax/features/</code> before an identifier such as
<code>validation</code>.  Turn features on or off using
<em>setFeature</em>.  Those standard identifiers are: </p>

	<td> May be examined only during a parse, after the

	    A value of "false" indicates those IDs will not be absolutized;
	    parsers will provide the base URI from
	    <em>Locator.getSystemId()</em>.
	    This applies to system IDs passed in <ul>
		<li><em>DTDHandler.notationDecl()</em>,
		<li><em>DTDHandler.unparsedEntityDecl()</em>, and
		<li><em>DeclHandler.externalEntityDecl()</em>.
	    </ul>
	    It does not apply to <em>EntityResolver.resolveEntity()</em>,
	    which is not used to report declarations, or to

	    the non-absolutized URI.

	    By default, SAX2 conforms to the original "Namespaces in XML"
	    Recommendation, which explicitly states that such attributes are
	    not in any namespace.
	    Setting this optional flag to "true" makes the SAX2 events conform to
	    a later backwards-incompatible revision of that recommendation,
	    placing those attributes in a namespace.

<p> Support for the default values of the
<em>namespaces</em> and <em>namespace-prefixes</em>
properties is required.
Support for any other feature flags is entirely optional.
</p>
 
<p> For default values not specified by SAX2,
each XMLReader implementation specifies its default,
or may choose not to expose the feature flag.
Unless otherwise specified here,
implementations may support changing current values
of these standard feature flags, but not while parsing.
</p>
 
<h2> SAX2 Standard Handler and Property IDs </h2>
 
<p> For parser interface characteristics that are described
as objects, a separate namespace is defined.  The
objects in this namespace are again identified by URI, and
the standard property URIs have the prefix
<code>http://xml.org/sax/properties/</code> before an identifier such as
<code>lexical-handler</code> or
<code>dom-node</code>.  Manage those properties using
<em>setProperty()</em>.  Those identifiers are: </p>
 
<table border="1" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
    <tr align="center" bgcolor="#ccccff">
	<th>Property ID</th>
	<th>Description</th>
	</tr>
 
    <tr>
	<td>declaration-handler</td>
	<td> Used to see most DTD declarations except those treated
	    as lexical ("document element name is ...") or which are
	    mandatory for all SAX parsers (<em>DTDHandler</em>).
	    The Object must implement <a href="ext/DeclHandler.html"
	    ><em>org.xml.sax.ext.DeclHandler</em></a>.

        <td>document-xml-version</td>
        <td> May be examined only during a parse, after the startDocument()
            callback has been completed; read-only. This property is a 
            literal string describing the actual XML version of the document, 
            such as "1.0" or "1.1".
            </td>
        </tr>
 
    <tr>
	<td>dom-node</td>
	<td> For "DOM Walker" style parsers, which ignore their
	    <em>parser.parse()</em> parameters, this is used to
	    specify the DOM (sub)tree being walked by the parser.
	    The Object must implement the
	    <em>org.w3c.dom.Node</em> interface.
	    </td>
	</tr>
 
    <tr>
	<td>lexical-handler</td>
	<td> Used to see some syntax events that are essential in some
	    applications:  comments, CDATA delimiters, selected general
	    entity inclusions, and the start and end of the DTD
	    (and declaration of document element name).
	    The Object must implement <a href="ext/LexicalHandler.html"

</table>
 
<p> All of these standard properties are optional;
XMLReader implementations need not support them.
