public interface XMLParser {
Parses the document identified by the given input source and sends SAX events to the given content handler.

This method must be re-entrant.

Params:
  • errorHandler – Errors found during the parsing must be reported to this handler so that XSOM can recognize that something went wrong. Always a non-null valid object
  • entityResolver – Entity resolution should be done through this interface. Can be null.
Throws:
  • SAXException – If ErrorHandler throws a SAXException, this method will tunnel it to the caller. All the other errors must be reported to the error handler.
