+ * Basic interface for SAX (Simple API for XML) parsers.

+ * <blockquote>
+ * <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
+ * Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
+ * See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>
+ * for further information.
+ * </blockquote>
+ *
+ * <p>This was the main event supplier interface for SAX1; it has
+ * been replaced in SAX2 by {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader XMLReader},
+ * which includes Namespace support and sophisticated configurability
+ * and extensibility.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>All SAX1 parsers must implement this basic interface: it allows
+ * applications to register handlers for different types of events
+ * and to initiate a parse from a URI, or a character stream.</p>
+ *
+ * <p>All SAX1 parsers must also implement a zero-argument constructor
+ * (though other constructors are also allowed).</p>
+ *
+ * <p>SAX1 parsers are reusable but not re-entrant: the application
+ * may reuse a parser object (possibly with a different input source)
+ * once the first parse has completed successfully, but it may not
+ * invoke the parse() methods recursively within a parse.</p>
+ *
+ * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2
+ * {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader XMLReader}
+ * interface, which includes Namespace support.
+ * @since SAX 1.0
