## org.apache.html.dom
Class HTMLBuilder

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.html.dom.HTMLBuilder

All Implemented Interfaces:
  org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler

    public class HTMLBuilder

extends java.lang.Object
implements org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler

This is a SAX document handler that is used to build an HTML document. It can build a document from any SAX parser, but is specifically tuned for working with the OpenXML HTML parser.

Field Detail

### _document

    protected HTMLDocumentImpl _document

  The document that is being built.

### _current

    protected org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl _current

  The current node in the document into which elements, text and other nodes will be inserted. This starts as the document itself and reflects each element that is currently being parsed.

### _preRootNodes

    protected java.util.Vector _preRootNodes

  The document is only created the same time as the document element, however, certain nodes may precede the document element (comment and PI), and they are accumulated in this vector.

Constructor Detail

### HTMLBuilder

    public HTMLBuilder()

Method Detail

### startDocument

    public void startDocument()
                       throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of the beginning of a document.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, before any other methods in this interface or in DTDHandler (except for setDocumentLocator).

  Specified by:
    `startDocument` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### endDocument

    public void endDocument()
                     throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of the end of a document.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method only once, and it will be the last method invoked during the parse. The parser shall not invoke this method until it has either abandoned parsing (because of an unrecoverable error) or reached the end of input.

  Specified by:
    `endDocument` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### startElement

    public void startElement(java.lang.String tagName,
                             org.xml.sax.AttributeList attrList)
                      throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of the beginning of an element.

  The Parser will invoke this method at the beginning of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding endElement() event for every startElement() event (even when the element is empty). All of the element's content will be reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement() event.

  If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached. Note that the attribute list provided will contain only attributes with explicit values (specified or defaulted): #IMPLIED attributes will be omitted.

  Specified by:
    `startElement` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `tagName` - The element type name.
    `attrList` - The attributes attached to the element, if any.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `DocumentHandler.endElement(java.lang.String)`, `AttributeList`

### endElement

    public void endElement(java.lang.String tagName)
                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of the end of an element.

  The SAX parser will invoke this method at the end of every element in the XML document; there will be a corresponding startElement() event for every endElement() event (even when the element is empty).

  If the element name has a namespace prefix, the prefix will still be attached to the name.

  Specified by:
    `endElement` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `tagName` - The element type name
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### characters

    public void characters(java.lang.String text)
                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException`

### characters

    public void characters(char[] text,
                           int start,
                           int length)
                    throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of character data.

  The Parser will call this method to report each chunk of character data. SAX parsers may return all contiguous character data in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

  The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

  Note that some parsers will report whitespace using the ignorableWhitespace() method rather than this one (validating parsers must do so).

  Specified by:
    `characters` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `text` - The characters from the XML document.
    `start` - The start position in the array.
    `length` - The number of characters to read from the array.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `DocumentHandler.ignorableWhitespace(char[], int, int)`, `Locator`

### ignorableWhitespace

    public void ignorableWhitespace(char[] text,
                                    int start,
                                    int length)
                             throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

  Validating Parsers must use this method to report each chunk of ignorable whitespace (see the W3C XML 1.0 recommendation, section 2.10): non-validating parsers may also use this method if they are capable of parsing and using content models.

  SAX parsers may return all contiguous whitespace in a single chunk, or they may split it into several chunks; however, all of the characters in any single event must come from the same external entity, so that the Locator provides useful information.

  The application must not attempt to read from the array outside of the specified range.

  Specified by:
    `ignorableWhitespace` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `text` - The characters from the XML document.
    `start` - The start position in the array.
    `length` - The number of characters to read from the array.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
  See Also:
    `DocumentHandler.characters(char[], int, int)`

### processingInstruction

    public void processingInstruction(java.lang.String target,
                                      java.lang.String instruction)
                               throws org.xml.sax.SAXException

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive notification of a processing instruction.

  The Parser will invoke this method once for each processing instruction found: note that processing instructions may occur before or after the main document element.

  A SAX parser should never report an XML declaration (XML 1.0, section 2.8) or a text declaration (XML 1.0, section 4.3.1) using this method.

  Specified by:
    `processingInstruction` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `target` - The processing instruction target.
    `instruction` - The processing instruction data, or null if none was supplied.
  Throws:
    `org.xml.sax.SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

### getHTMLDocument

    public org.w3c.dom.html.HTMLDocument getHTMLDocument()

### setDocumentLocator

    public void setDocumentLocator(org.xml.sax.Locator locator)

  Description copied from interface: `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Receive an object for locating the origin of SAX document events.

  SAX parsers are strongly encouraged (though not absolutely required) to supply a locator: if it does so, it must supply the locator to the application by invoking this method before invoking any of the other methods in the DocumentHandler interface.

  The locator allows the application to determine the end position of any document-related event, even if the parser is not reporting an error. Typically, the application will use this information for reporting its own errors (such as character content that does not match an application's business rules). The information returned by the locator is probably not sufficient for use with a search engine.

  Note that the locator will return correct information only during the invocation of the events in this interface. The application should not attempt to use it at any other time.

  Specified by:
    `setDocumentLocator` in interface `org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler`
  Parameters:
    `locator` - An object that can return the location of any SAX document event.
  See Also:
    `Locator`
