java.lang.Object javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder
Defines the API to obtain DOM Document instances from an XML
document. Using this class, an application programmer can obtain a
Document
from XML.
An instance of this class can be obtained from the
DocumentBuilderFactory.newDocumentBuilder
method. Once
an instance of this class is obtained, XML can be parsed from a
variety of input sources. These input sources are InputStreams,
Files, URLs, and SAX InputSources.
Note that this class reuses several classes from the SAX API. This
does not require that the implementor of the underlying DOM
implementation use a SAX parser to parse XML document into a
Document
. It merely requires that the implementation
communicate with the application using these existing APIs.
An implementation of DocumentBuilder
is NOT
guaranteed to behave as per the specification if it is used concurrently by
two or more threads. It is recommended to have one instance of the
DocumentBuilder
per thread or it is upto the application to
make sure about the use of DocumentBuilder
from more than one
thread.

- If any IO errors occur.
SAXException
- If any parse errors occur.

public Document parse(String uri) throws SAXException, IOException
Document
object.

EntityResolver
to be used to resolve
entities present in the XML document to be parsed. Setting
this to null
will result in the underlying
implementation using it's own default implementation and
behavior.

- The EntityResolver
to be used to resolve entities
present in the XML document to be parsed.public abstract void setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler eh)
ErrorHandler
to be used to report
errors present in the XML document to be parsed. Setting

present in the XML document to be parsed.public abstract Document newDocument()
Document
object
to build a DOM tree with. An alternative way to create a DOM
Document object is to use the
getDOMImplementation
method to get a DOM Level 2 DOMImplementation object and then use
DOM Level 2 methods on that object to create a DOM Document object.
public abstract DOMImplementation getDOMImplementation()
DOMImplementation
object.
