  Return the expanded system identifier for the current document event.

  The return value is the expanded system identifier of the document entity or of the external parsed entity in which the markup triggering the event appears.

  If the system identifier is a URL, the parser must resolve it fully before passing it to the application.

  Specified by:
    `getExpandedSystemId` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`
  Returns:
    A string containing the expanded system identifier, or null if none is available.

  Returns:
    A string containing the literal system identifier, or null if none is available.

### getLineNumber

    public final int getLineNumber()

  Returns the line number where the current document event ends.

  Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.

  The return value is an approximation of the line number in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup triggering the event appears.

  If possible, the line position of the first character after the text associated with the document event should be provided. The first line in the document is line 1.

  Specified by:
    `getLineNumber` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`
  Returns:
    The line number, or -1 if none is available.

### getColumnNumber

    public final int getColumnNumber()

  Returns the column number where the current document event ends.

  Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.

  The return value is an approximation of the column number in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup triggering the event appears.

  If possible, the line position of the first character after the text associated with the document event should be provided. The first column in each line is column 1.

  Specified by:
    `getColumnNumber` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`

    The column number, or -1 if none is available.

### getCharacterOffset

    public final int getCharacterOffset()

  Returns the character offset where the current document event ends.

  Warning: The return value from the method is intended only as an approximation for the sake of error reporting; it is not intended to provide sufficient information to edit the character content of the original XML document.

  The return value is an approximation of the character offset in the document entity or external parsed entity where the markup triggering the event appears.

  If possible, the character offset of the first character after the text associated with the document event should be provided.

  Specified by:
    `getCharacterOffset` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`
  Returns:
    The character offset, or -1 if none is available.

### getEncoding

    public final java.lang.String getEncoding()

  Returns the encoding of the current entity. Note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the encoding declaration has been read (or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration) since, no encoding having been specified on the XMLInputSource, the parser will make an initial "guess" which could be in error.

  Specified by:
    `getEncoding` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`

### getXMLVersion

    public final java.lang.String getXMLVersion()

  Returns the XML version of the current entity. This will normally be the value from the XML or text declaration or defaulted by the parser. Note that that this value may be different than the version of the processing rules applied to the current entity. For instance, an XML 1.1 document may refer to XML 1.0 entities. In such a case the rules of XML 1.1 are applied to the entire document. Also note that, for a given entity, this value can only be considered final once the XML or text declaration has been read or once it has been determined that there is no such declaration.

  Specified by:
    `getXMLVersion` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator`
