## Deprecated API

Deprecated Interfaces
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASAttributeDeclaration An attribute declaration in the context of a `ASObject`.The constant 'REQUIRED' is missing from this interface. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASContentModel The content model of a declared element. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASDataType The datatypes supported by DOM AS implementations. Further datatypes may be added in the Schema/PSVI spec. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASElementDeclaration The element name along with the content specification in the context of an `ASObject`. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASEntityDeclaration Models a general entity declaration in an abstract schema. The abstract schema does not handle any parameter entity. It is assumed that the parameter entities are expanded by the implementation as the abstract schema is built. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASModel
To begin with, an abstract schema is a generic structure that could contain both internal and external subsets. An `ASModel` is an abstract object that could map to a DTD , an XML Schema , a database schema, etc. An `ASModel` could represent either an internal or an external subset; hence an abstract schema could be composed of an `ASModel` representing the internal subset and an `ASModel` representing the external subset. Note that the `ASModel` representing the external subset could consult the `ASModel` representing the internal subset. Furthermore, the `ASModel` representing the internal subset could be set to null by the `setInternalAS` method as a mechanism for "removal". In addition, only one `ASModel` representing the external subset can be specified as "active" and it is possible that none are "active". Finally, the `ASModel` contains the factory methods needed to create a various types of ASObjects like `ASElementDeclaration`, `ASAttributeDeclaration`, etc.

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASNamedObjectMap
Objects implementing the `ASNamedObjectMap` interface are used to represent collections of abstract schema nodes that can be accessed by name. Note that `ASNamedObjectMap` does not inherit from `ASObjectList`; `ASNamedObjectMaps` are not maintained in any particular order. Objects contained in an object implementing `ASNamedObjectMap` may also be accessed by an ordinal index, but this is simply to allow convenient enumeration of the contents of a `ASNamedObjectMap`, and does not imply that the DOM specifies an order to these `ASObjects`.

`ASNamedObjectMap` object in the DOM are live.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASNotationDeclaration This interface represents a notation declaration. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASObject The `ASObject` interface is analogous to a `Node` in , e.g., an element declaration. Opaque. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ASObjectList The `ASObjectList` interface provides the abstraction of an ordered collection of AS nodes, without defining or constraining how this collection is implemented. `ASObjectList` objects in the DOM AS are live. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.CharacterDataEditAS This interface extends the `NodeEditAS` interface with additional methods for document editing. An object implementing this interface must also implement NodeEditAS interface. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DocumentAS This interface extends the `Document` interface with additional methods for both document and AS editing. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DocumentEditAS This interface extends the `NodeEditAS` interface with additional methods for both document and AS editing. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DOMASBuilder An Abstract Schema parser interface. `DOMASBuilder` provides an API for parsing Abstract Schemas and building the corresponding `ASModel` tree. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DOMASWriter
A Abstract Schema serialization interface.

DOMASWriters provides an API for serializing Abstract Schemas out in the form of a source Abstract Schema. The Abstract Schema is written to an output stream, the type of which depends on the specific language bindings in use.

DOMASWriter is a generic Abstract Schema serialization interface. It can be applied to both an internal Abstract Schema and/or an external Abstract Schema. DOMASWriter is applied to serialize a single Abstract Schema. Serializing a document with an active Internal Abstract Schema will serialize this internal Abstract Schema with the document as it is part of the Document (see `LSSerializer`).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DOMImplementationAS
This interface allows creation of an `ASModel`. The expectation is that an instance of the `DOMImplementationAS` interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the `DOMImplementation` interface when the DOM implementation supports the feature "`AS-EDIT`".

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.ElementEditAS This interface extends the `Element` interface with additional methods for guided document editing. An object implementing this interface must also implement NodeEditAS interface. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.NodeEditAS
This interface extends a `Node` from with additional methods for guided document editing. The expectation is that an instance of the `DOMImplementationAS` interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the `DOMImplementation` interface when the DOM implementation supports the feature "`AS-DOC`".

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.

Deprecated Exceptions
org.apache.xerces.dom3.as.DOMASException Abstract Schemas operations may throw a `DOMSystemException` as described in their descriptions. See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Abstract Schemas and Load and Save Specification.
