StAXContentHandlerBase

public interface StAXContentHandler

Interface for StAX content handlers. This interface is very similar in spirit and design to the SAX content handler. Differences are:

1. start/endDocument methods are replaced by start/endTree. This recognises the fact that a StAX content handler may only see a sub-tree of an XML document, rather than the whole document.
2. the startElement method takes a DelegationManager, allowing delegation of sub-trees to other content handlers.
