DefaultHandler2

This class extends the SAX2 base handler class to support the SAX2 LexicalHandler, DeclHandler, and EntityResolver2 extensions.

Default base class for SAX2 event handlers. This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

This class is available as a convenience base class for SAX2 applications: it provides default implementations for all of the callbacks in the four core SAX2 handler classes:

Application writers can extend this class when they need to implement only part of an interface; parser writers can instantiate this class to provide default handlers when the application has not supplied its own.

This class replaces the deprecated SAX1 HandlerBase class.

endDocument

Added in API level 1

open fun endDocument(): Unit

open fun endElement(
    uri: String!, 
    localName: String!, 
    qName: String!
): Unit

Receive notification of the end of an element.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions at the end of each element (such as finalising a tree node or writing output to a file).

Parameters
`uri`	String!: The Namespace URI, or the empty string if the element has no Namespace URI or if Namespace processing is not being performed.
`localName`	String!: The local name (without prefix), or the empty string if Namespace processing is not being performed.
`qName`	String!: The qualified name (with prefix), or the empty string if qualified names are not available.

org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#endElement

endPrefixMapping

Added in API level 1

Parameters
`prefix`	String!: The Namespace prefix being declared.

Exceptions
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	the client may throw an exception during processing
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

org.xml.sax.ContentHandler#endPrefixMapping

error

Added in API level 1

open fun error(e: SAXParseException!): Unit

Receive notification of a recoverable parser error.

The default implementation does nothing. Application writers may override this method in a subclass to take specific actions for each error, such as inserting the message in a log file or printing it to the console.

Parameters
`exception`	The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
`e`	SAXParseException!: The warning information encoded as an exception.

Exceptions
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

See Also

fatalError

Added in API level 1

open fun fatalError(e: SAXParseException!): Unit

Report a fatal XML parsing error.

The default implementation throws a SAXParseException. Application writers may override this method in a subclass if they need to take specific actions for each fatal error (such as collecting all of the errors into a single report): in any case, the application must stop all regular processing when this method is invoked, since the document is no longer reliable, and the parser may no longer report parsing events.

Parameters
`exception`	The error information encapsulated in a SAX parse exception.
`e`	SAXParseException!: The error information encoded as an exception.

Exceptions
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

open fun ignorableWhitespace(
    ch: CharArray!, 
    start: Int, 
    length: Int
): Unit

Receive notification of ignorable whitespace in element content.

By default, do nothing. Application writers may override this method to take specific actions for each chunk of ignorable whitespace (such as adding data to a node or buffer, or printing it to a file).

Parameters
`ch`	CharArray!: The whitespace characters.
`start`	Int: The start position in the character array.
`length`	Int: The number of characters to use from the character array.

Exceptions
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception
`org.xml.sax.SAXException`	Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.

`systemId`	String!: The system identifier provided in the XML document.

Return
`InputSource!`	The new input source, or null to require the default behaviour.
