The XMLReader Interface, Chapter 7 of Processing XML with Java
I've posted The XMLReader Interface, Chapter 7 of Processing XML with
Java, on Cafe con Leche.
<http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/books/xmljava/chapters/ch07.html>: This
chapter covers:
* Locating XML parsers with XMLReaderFactory
* The different kinds of SAXException
* Reading a document from an InputSource
* Using EntityResolver to substitute DTD modules and other entities
* Reading DTDs with DeclHandler
* Accessing unparsed entities and notations through DTDHandler
* Lexical events reported by the LexicalHandler
* Configuring the parser with features and properties
I've still got half the book to go, but I'd venture that this book is
definitely starting to be seriously useful, and is a solid
introduction to XML parsing for Java developers. In particular, It
could certainly be used as a text for an XML course that focused on
basic XML and SAX. Together chapters 6 and 7 probably cover almost
all of the SAX API. One more chapter on SAX filters remains to be
written. After that, it's on to DOM. As usual, all comments are
appreciated.
