  This method notifies of the start of an entity. The DTD has the pseudo-name of "[dtd]" parameter entity names start with '%'; and general entity names are just the entity name.

  Note: Since the document is an entity, the handler will be notified of the start of the document entity by calling the startEntity method with the entity name "[xml]" before calling the startDocument method. When exposing entity boundaries through the SAX API, the document entity is never reported, however.

  Note: This method is not called for entity references appearing as part of attribute values.

  Specified by:
    `startGeneralEntity` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLDocumentHandler`

                          throws org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException

  This method notifies the end of an entity. The DTD has the pseudo-name of "[dtd]" parameter entity names start with '%'; and general entity names are just the entity name.

  Note: Since the document is an entity, the handler will be notified of the end of the document entity by calling the endEntity method with the entity name "[xml]" after calling the endDocument method. When exposing entity boundaries through the SAX API, the document entity is never reported, however.

  Note: This method is not called for entity references appearing as part of attribute values.

  A processing instruction. Processing instructions consist of a target name and, optionally, text data. The data is only meaningful to the application.

  Typically, a processing instruction's data will contain a series of pseudo-attributes. These pseudo-attributes follow the form of element attributes but are not parsed or presented to the application as anything other than text. The application is responsible for parsing the data.

                              throws org.apache.xerces.xni.XNIException

  This method notifies of the start of parameter entity. The DTD has the pseudo-name of "[dtd]" parameter entity names start with '%'; and general entity names are just the entity name.

  Note: Since the document is an entity, the handler will be notified of the start of the document entity by calling the startEntity method with the entity name "[xml]" before calling the startDocument method. When exposing entity boundaries through the SAX API, the document entity is never reported, however.

  Note: This method is not called for entity references appearing as part of attribute values.

  Specified by:

### getElementPSVI

    public org.apache.xerces.xs.ElementPSVI getElementPSVI()

  Description copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.PSVIProvider`
  Provides the post schema validation item for the current element information item. The method must be called by an application while in the scope of the methods which report the start and end of an element. For example, for SAX the method must be called within the scope of the document handler's `startElement` or `endElement` call. If the method is called outside of the specified scope, the return value is undefined.

  Specified by:
    `getElementPSVI` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xs.PSVIProvider`
  Returns:
    The post schema validation infoset for the current element. If an element information item is valid, then in the post-schema-validation infoset the following properties must be available for the element information item: The following properties are available in the scope of the method that reports the start of an element: {element declaration}, {validation context}, {notation}. The {schema information} property is available for the validation root. The {error codes} property is available if any errors occured during validation. The following properties are available in the scope of the method that reports the end of an element: {nil}, {schema specified}, {normalized value},{ member type definition}, {validity}, {validation attempted} . If the declaration has a value constraint, the property {schema default} is available. The {error codes} property is available if any errors occured during validation. Note: some processors may choose to provide all the PSVI properties in the scope of the method that reports the end of an element.

### getAttributePSVI

    public org.apache.xerces.xs.AttributePSVI getAttributePSVI(int index)

  Description copied from interface: `org.apache.xerces.xs.PSVIProvider`
  Provides `AttributePSVI` given the index of an attribute information item in the current element's attribute list. The method must be called by an application while in the scope of the methods which report the start and end of an element at a point where the attribute list is available. For example, for SAX the method must be called while in the scope of the document handler's `startElement` call. If the method is called outside of the specified scope, the return value is undefined.

  Specified by:
    `getAttributePSVI` in interface `org.apache.xerces.xs.PSVIProvider`
  Parameters:
    `index` - The attribute index.
  Returns:
    The post schema validation properties of the attribute.
