• void startDocument() / void endDocument() ”Start/end of document

• void startElement(String namespaceURI,String localName,String qName, Attributes atts) / void endElement(String namespaceURI,String localName, String qName) ”Start/end of element

• void characters (char[] ch,int start,int length) ”Character data

• void ignorableWhitespace(char ] ch,int start,int length) ”Ignorable whitespaces, as defined by the XML recommendation
