      +--org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  DocumentHandler, XMLReader

public class ParserAdapter
extends java.lang.Object
implements XMLReader, DocumentHandler

Adapt a SAX1 Parser as a SAX2 XMLReader.

This class wraps a SAX1 `Parser` and makes it act as a SAX2 `XMLReader`, with feature, property, and Namespace support. Note that it is not possible to report `skippedEntity` events, since SAX1 does not make that information available.

This adapter does not test for duplicate Namespace-qualified attribute names.

Since:
  SAX 2.0

Constructor Detail

### ParserAdapter

    public ParserAdapter()
                  throws SAXException

  Construct a new parser adapter.

  Use the "org.xml.sax.parser" property to locate the embedded SAX1 driver.

  Throws:
    `SAXException` - If the embedded driver cannot be instantiated or if the org.xml.sax.parser property is not specified.

### ParserAdapter

    public ParserAdapter(Parser parser)

  Construct a new parser adapter.

  Note that the embedded parser cannot be changed once the adapter is created; to embed a different parser, allocate a new ParserAdapter.

  Parameters:
    `parser` - The SAX1 parser to embed.
  Throws:
    `java.lang.NullPointerException` - If the parser parameter is null.
