Class SimpleXMLParser

  • public final class SimpleXMLParser
extends java.lang.Object
    A simple XML and HTML parser. This parser is, like the SAX parser, an event based parser, but with much less functionality.

    The parser can:

    • It recognizes the encoding used
    • It recognizes all the elements' start tags and end tags
    • It lists attributes, where attribute values can be enclosed in single or double quotes
    • It recognizes the <[CDATA[ ... ]]> construct
    • It recognizes the standard entities: &amp;, &lt;, &gt;, &quot;, and &apos;, as well as numeric entities
    • It maps lines ending in \r\n and \r to \n on input, in accordance with the XML Specification, Section 2.11
