Xerces2 is the next generation of high performance, fully compliant XML parsers in the Apache Xerces family. This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a complete framework for building parser components and configurations that is extremely modular and easy to program. The Apache Xerces2 parser is the reference implementation of XNI but other parser components, configurations, and parsers can be written using the Xerces Native Interface. For complete design and implementation documents, refer to the XNI Manual. Xerces2 is a fully conforming XML Schema 1.0 processor. A partial experimental implementation of the XML Schema 1.1 Structures and Datatypes Working Drafts (December 2009) and an experimental implementation of the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD): Component Designators (SCD) Candidate Recommendation (January 2010) are provided for evaluation. For more information, refer to the XML Schema page. Xerces2 also provides a complete implementation of the Document Object Model Level 3 Core and Load/Save W3C Recommendations and provides a complete implementation of the XML Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Recommendation. It also provides support for OASIS XML Catalogs v1.1. Xerces2 is able to parse documents written according to the XML 1.1 Recommendation, except that it does not yet provide an option to enable normalization checking as described in section 2.13 of this specification. It also handles namespaces according to the XML Namespaces 1.1 Recommendation, and will correctly serialize XML 1.1 documents if the DOM level 3 load/save APIs are in use.

 <s2 title='Core Interfaces'>
  <p>
   The Xerces Native Interface core contains a series of
   interfaces and classes designed to communicate a document's
   "streaming" information set. This page documents the API
   available for receiving this information in the following
   sections:
  </p>
  <ul>
   <li><link anchor='document-information'>Document Information</link></li>
   <li><link anchor='dtd-information'>DTD Information</link></li>
  </ul>
  <p>
   A few examples are also included to illustrate the use of the
   streaming information set:
  </p>
  <ul>
   <li>
    <link anchor='pass-through-filter'>Pass-Through Document 
    Handler Filter</link>
   </li>
   <li><link anchor='upper-case-filter'>Upper-Case Filter</link></li>
  </ul>
  <p>
   For information regarding the parser configuration framework, 
   refer to the <link idref='xni-config'>Parser Configuration</link>
   documentation.
  </p>
  <note>
   The source code for the samples in this document are included
   in the downloaded packages for Xerces2.
  </note>
 </s2>
 <s2 title='Document Information'>
  <p>
   The document information is communicated using the
   <code>XMLDocumentHandler</code> interface. In addition, the
   <code>XMLDocumentFragmentHandler</code> interface is included
   to get information regarding document fragments. Programmers
   already familiar with the SAX programming interfaces should
   be immediately comfortable programming to the Xerces Native
   Interface. However, XNI does not depend on the SAX interfaces
   and classes.
  </p>
  <note>
   All of the interfaces and classes documented on this page
   are contained within the <code>org.apache.xerces.xni</code>
   package.
  </note>
  <anchor name='document-handler'/>
  <s3 title='Interface XMLDocumentHandler'>
   <p>
    Communicates document structure and content information. This
    is the most important handler interface in the Xerces Native
    Interface.

    Therefore, even though all of the handler interface methods can 
    throw this type of exception, it is not explicitly required to 
    be caught. Since XNI is intended to be an internal set of 
    interfaces, it is expected that XNI implementations will provide 
    a catch block for this exception at the top level so that XNI 
    exceptions do not "leak" out to the application code.

  <anchor name='augs'/>
  <s3 title='Interface Augmentations'>
    <p> This interface enables arbitrary information to be passed
    through the pipeline on various calls from one component to
    another.  XNI tries to model, as close as is feasible, the
    information made available by the W3C&apos;s InfoSet
    specification.  The <link anchor="augs">Augmentations</link>
    interface is intended to permit components to augment the infoset
    for some document at almost any given point.  Many other XNI
    interfaces besides the DocumentHandler support Augmentations
    parameters.</p>
    <p> One kind of particularly useful Infoset augmentation is
    provided through the Post-Schema validation Infoset.  For
    information about Xerces2&apos;s support of the PSVI, and how
    Augmentations are used in a well-defined way to permit this
    support, see the <link idref="samples-xni">documentation</link> for the PSVI Writer and 
    PSVI Configuration samples.</p>
  </s3>
  <anchor name='resource'/>
  <s3 title='Interface XMLResourceIdentifier'>
  <p>
    This interface serves to gather together information relevant to 
    any kind of XML resource (external entity, notation, schema 
    grammar, etc.).  There are five fields in this interface:</p>
    <ul>
      <li>baseSystemId:  The URI against which the literal systemId 
        in the entity (or the URI to be resolved in the 
        <code>schemaLocation</code> attribute as the case may be) 
        should be resolved relative to.  
      </li>
      <li> literalSystemId:  The &quot;real&quot; (unexpanded) value
        of the systemId (or <code>schemaLocation</code>) of the entity
        which this object relates to.  
      </li>
      <li> expandedSystemId:  The value of the systemId (or
        <code>schemaLocation</code>) after being subjects to relative
        URI expansion.  SAX programmers will be familiar with this
        concept from the SAX Locator interface, for example; this
        property maps to the <code>systemId</code> property of that
        interface.
      </li>
      <li> publicId:  the publicId of the entity. 
      </li>
      <li> namespace:  the namespace of the entity. This is useful
        when the resource is some kind of namespace-aware grammar
        (an XML Schema, for example).
      </li>
      </ul>
      <p> As in the case of other XNI objects, XMLResourceIdentifiers
      cannot be depended upon to retain their values between calls;
      hence, callees should extract whatever information they need
      from them (or clone the object) before returning control back to
      the parser. </p>
  </s3> 
  <anchor name='locator'/>
  <s3 title='Interface XMLLocator'>
   <p>
    This interface is used to communicate the document location to
    the various handler interfaces. The application can use the
    methods on this interface to query the public, literal system, and expanded system
    base system identifier as well as the line number, column number 
    and the encoding of the entity currently being parsed.
   </p>
   <p>
    A locator is passed as a parameter in the first method called
    by the <code>XMLDocumentHandler</code>,
    <code>XMLDocumentFragmentHandler</code>, and
    <code>XMLDTDHandler</code> interfaces. 
   </p>
   <p>
    <strong>Note:</strong> 
    Parser components that emit document information are not required
    to provide a locator object. However, the Xerces2 reference 
    implementation <em>does</em> provide a locator to registered
    handlers.

    This interface represents the collection of attributes that is
    passed to the <code>startElement</code> and <code>emptyElement</code>
    methods of the <code>XMLDocumentHandler</code> and
    <code>XMLDocumentFragmentHandler</code> interfaces. This
    collection of attributes contains all of the information about

   </p>
   <p>
    This interface is also capable of storing information about
    entities appearing in the attribute value. However, it should
    be noted that if entity information is set for an attribute,
    then the non-normalized value of the attribute <strong>must</strong>
    also be stored because the offsets and lengths of entities in
    the attribute have no meaning for the normalized value.

  <s3 title='Class XMLString'>
   <p>
    The XMLString object is a structure for holding text information.
    This object allows the underlying implementation to pass text
    information by using its own internal character buffer without
    creating new String objects or copying the data.
   </p>
   <p>
    <strong>Note:</strong>
    The fields of this object have public visibility but should be
    considered to be <em>read-only</em> to all methods that are
    passed this object. The caller that creates and passes the 
    XMLString object "owns" the data. Therefore, callees should 
    <strong>not</strong> retain a reference to the passed object and
    are required to copy the information contained in the object if
    the data is to be used beyond the scope of the method call. Also,
    callees should <strong>never</strong> modify the contents of the
    character array directly as that could adversely affect the
    operation of the caller.
