Method Detail

### startDocument

    void startDocument(XMLLocator locator,
                       java.lang.String encoding,
                       NamespaceContext namespaceContext,
                       Augmentations augs)
                       throws XNIException

  The start of the document.

  Parameters:
    `locator` - The document locator, or null if the document location cannot be reported during the parsing of this document. However, it is strongly recommended that a locator be supplied that can at least report the system identifier of the document.
    `encoding` - The auto-detected IANA encoding name of the entity stream. This value will be null in those situations where the entity encoding is not auto-detected (e.g. internal entities or a document entity that is parsed from a java.io.Reader).
    `namespaceContext` - The namespace context in effect at the start of this document. This object represents the current context. Implementors of this class are responsible for copying the namespace bindings from the the current context (and its parent contexts) if that information is important.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### xmlDecl

    void xmlDecl(java.lang.String version,
                 java.lang.String encoding,
                 java.lang.String standalone,
                 Augmentations augs)
                 throws XNIException

  Notifies of the presence of an XMLDecl line in the document. If present, this method will be called immediately following the startDocument call.

  Parameters:
    `version` - The XML version.
    `encoding` - The IANA encoding name of the document, or null if not specified.
    `standalone` - The standalone value, or null if not specified.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### doctypeDecl

    void doctypeDecl(java.lang.String rootElement,
                     java.lang.String publicId,
                     java.lang.String systemId,
                     Augmentations augs)
                     throws XNIException

  Notifies of the presence of the DOCTYPE line in the document.

  Parameters:
    `rootElement` - The name of the root element.
    `publicId` - The public identifier if an external DTD or null if the external DTD is specified using SYSTEM.
    `systemId` - The system identifier if an external DTD, null otherwise.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### comment

    void comment(XMLString text,
                 Augmentations augs)
                 throws XNIException

  A comment.

  Parameters:
    `text` - The text in the comment.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by application to signal an error.

### processingInstruction

    void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                               XMLString data,
                               Augmentations augs)
                               throws XNIException

  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.

  Parameters:
    `target` - The target.
    `data` - The data or null if none specified.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### startElement

    void startElement(QName element,
                      XMLAttributes attributes,
                      Augmentations augs)
                      throws XNIException

  The start of an element.

  Parameters:
    `element` - The name of the element.
    `attributes` - The element attributes.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### emptyElement

    void emptyElement(QName element,

  An empty element.

  Parameters:
    `element` - The name of the element.
    `attributes` - The element attributes.
    `augs` - Additional information that may include infoset augmentations
  Throws:
    `XNIException` - Thrown by handler to signal an error.

### startGeneralEntity

    void startGeneralEntity(java.lang.String name,
                            XMLResourceIdentifier identifier,
                            java.lang.String encoding,
                            Augmentations augs)
                            throws XNIException

  Parameters:
    `name` - The name of the general entity.
    `identifier` - The resource identifier.
    `encoding` - The auto-detected IANA encoding name of the entity stream. This value will be null in those situations where the entity encoding is not auto-detected (e.g. internal entities or a document entity that is parsed from a java.io.Reader).

                  throws XNIException

  Notifies of the presence of a TextDecl line in an entity. If present, this method will be called immediately following the startEntity call.

  Note: This method will never be called for the document entity; it is only called for external general entities referenced in document content.
