This is the main interface that most SAX applications + * implement: if the application needs to be informed of basic parsing + * events, it implements this interface and registers an instance with + * the SAX parser using the {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader#setContentHandler + * setContentHandler} method. The parser uses the instance to report + * basic document-related events like the start and end of elements + * and character data.
+ * + *The order of events in this interface is very important, and + * mirrors the order of information in the document itself. For + * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing + * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between + * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.
+ * + *This interface is similar to the now-deprecated SAX 1.0 + * DocumentHandler interface, but it adds support for Namespaces + * and for reporting skipped entities (in non-validating XML + * processors).
+ * + *Implementors should note that there is also a
+ * ContentHandler
class in the java.net
+ * package; that means that it's probably a bad idea to do
import java.net.*; + * import org.xml.sax.*; + *+ * + *
