Hi Everyone,
While SAX does a good job as an event-based interface
to Parsers, it would be nice to add a few methods to
receive a DOM representation back from a reference to an org.xml.sax.Parser.
Something like:
org.w3c.dom.Document parse(InputSource is, boolean events) throws
SAXException;
org.w3c.dom.Document parse(java.lang.String uri, boolean events) throws
SAXException;
/* the events boolean would be to turn on/off event calls. */
If a SAXDriver did not want to produce a DOM, it could either simply
return a null or a method added like:
boolean isDomCapable();
The above would let me use the ParserFactory to seamlessly switch
between Parser implementations and get a DOM tree without building
one myself. It is fruitless for me to build a DOM tree when almost all
the parser implementations provide that ability. I just want a way to get
at that functionality in a simple and standard way (thus SAX).
Thoughts?
