Package javax.xml.parsers

Package javax.xml.parsers

---

Java 1.4

This package defines classes that represent XML parsers and factory classes for obtaining instances of those parser classes. DocumentBuilder is a DOM-based XML parser created from a DocumentBuilderFactory . SAXParser is a SAX-based XML parser created from a SAXParserFactory . In Java 5.0, you can configure either of the factory classes to create parsers that validate against a W3C XML Schema specified with a javax.xml.validation.Schema object. Note that this package does not include parser implementations . Instead, it is an implementation-independent layer that supports "pluggable" XML parsers. Furthermore, this package does not define a DOM or SAX API for working with XML documents. The DOM API is defined in org.w3c.dom , and the SAX API is defined in org.xml.sax and its subpackages.
