<s1 title='XNI Samples'>
 <s2 title='Overview'>
  <p>
   The Xerces Native Interface (XNI) is an internal API that is
   independent of other XML APIs and is used to implement the 
   Xerces family of parsers. XNI allows a wide variety of parsers
   to be written in an easy and modular fashion. The XNI samples
   included with Xerces are simple examples of how to program
   using the XNI API. However, for information on how to take full
   advantage of this powerful framework, refer to the
   <link idref='xni'>XNI Manual</link>.

   Most of the XNI samples have a command line option that allows the
   user to specify a different XNI parser configuration to use. In
   order to supply another parser configuration besides the default
   Xerces <code>&DefaultConfig;</code>, the configuration
   must implement the 
   <code>org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration</code>
   interface.
  </p>
 </s2>
 <anchor name='Counter'/>
 <s2 title='Sample xni.Counter'>
  <p>
   A sample XNI counter. The output of this program shows the time
   and count of elements, attributes, ignorable whitespaces, and 
   characters appearing in the document. 
  </p>
  <p>
   This class is useful as a "poor-man's" performance tester to
   compare the speed and accuracy of various parser configurations. 
   However, it is important to note that the first parse time of a
   parser will include both VM class load time and parser 
   initialization that would not be present in subsequent parses 
   with the same file. 
  </p>
  <note>
   The results produced by this program should never be accepted as
   true performance measurements.

   <p>
    The speed and memory results from this program should NOT be used
    as the basis of parser performance comparison! Real analytical 
    methods should be used. For better results, perform multiple 
    document parses within the same virtual machine to remove class
    loading from parse time and memory usage.
   </p>
   <p>
    The "tagginess" measurement gives a rough estimate of the percentage
    of markup versus content in the XML document. The percent tagginess
    of a document is equal to the minimum amount of tag characters 
    required for elements, attributes, and processing instructions 
    divided by the total amount of characters (characters, ignorable 
    whitespace, and tag characters) in the document.

  <s3 title='notes'>
   <p>
    No two schema grammars preparsed by this class should share the
    same targetNamespace (or have no targetNamespace).  If this condition is
    not meant, results are undefined--but, very likely, one of the schemas
    will simply be ignored.
    </p>
   <p>
    Not all features are supported by different parser configurations.
    Particularly, if a parser configuration is specified, it would be wise to
    ensure it supports the kind of grammars to be preparsed.

 <anchor name='PassThroughFilter'/>
 <s2 title='Sample xni.PassThroughFilter'>
  <p>
   This sample demonstrates how to implement a simple pass-through
   filter for the document "streaming" information set using XNI.
   This filter could be used in a pipeline of XNI parser components
   that communicate document events.

   handler.

  <p>
   This class can <strong>NOT</strong> be run as a standalone
   program. It is only an example of how to write a parser
   configuration using XNI. You can use this parser configuration
   by specifying the fully qualified class name to all of the XNI
   samples that accept a parser configuration using the 
   <code>-p</code> option. For example:
  </p>
  <source>java xni.Counter -p xni.parser.NonValidatingParserConfiguration document.xml</source>

 <anchor name='AbstractConfiguration'/>
 <s2 title='Sample xni.parser.AbstractConfiguration'>
  <p>
   This abstract parser configuration simply helps manage components, 
   features and properties, and other tasks common to all parser
   configurations. In order to subclass this configuration and use
   it effectively, the subclass is required to do the following:
  </p>
  <ul>
   <li>
    Add all configurable components using the <code>addComponent</code>
    method,</li>
   <li>Implement the <code>parse</code> method, and</li>
   <li>Call the <code>resetComponents</code> before parsing.</li>

 <s2 title='Sample xni.parser.CSVConfiguration'>

   This example is a very simple parser configuration that can

   events. For example, the following CSV document:
  </p>
  <source>Andy Clark,16 Jan 1973,Cincinnati</source>
  <p>
   produces the following XML "document" as represented by the 
   XNI streaming document information:

 <anchor name='xercesProperties'/>
 <s2 title='Sample xni/xerces.properties'>
    <p> When you create a Xerces parser, either directly using a native
    class like org.apache.xerces.parsers.DOMParser, or via a
    standard API like JAXP, Xerces provides a dynamic means of
    dynamically selecting a "configuration" for that parser.
    Configurations are the basic mechanism Xerces uses to decide
    exactly how it will treat an XML document (e.g., whether it
    needs to know about Schema validation, whether it needs to be
    cognizant of potential denial-of-service attacks launched via
    malicious XML documents, etc.)  The steps are fourfold:
    </p>
    <ol>
      <li> * first, Xerces will examine the system property
            org.apache.xerces.xni.parser.XMLParserConfiguration;
      </li>
      <li> next, it will try and find a file called xerces.properties in
            the lib subdirectory of your JRE installation;
      </li>
      <li> next, it will examine all the jars on your classpath to try
            and find one with the appropriate entry in its
            META-INF/services directory.
       </li>
       <li>if all else fails, it will use a hardcoded default.
       </li>
     </ol>
     <p> The third step can be quite time-consuming, especially if you
    have a lot of jars on your classpath and run applications which
    require the creation of lots of parsers.  If you know you're
    only using applications which require "standard" APIs (that
    is, don't need some special Xerces property), or you want to
    try and force applications to use only certain Xerces
    configurations, then you may wish to copy this file into your
    JRE's lib directory.  We try and ensure that this file contains
    the currently-recommended default configuration; if you know
    which configuration you want, you may substitute that class
    name for what we've provided here.</p>
