Classes
| DocumentBuilder | Defines the API to obtain DOM Document instances from an XML document. |
| DocumentBuilderFactory | Defines a factory API that enables applications to obtain a parser that produces DOM object trees from XML documents. |
| SAXParser | Defines the API that wraps an XMLReader
implementation class. |
| SAXParserFactory | Defines a factory API that enables applications to configure and obtain a SAX based parser to parse XML documents. |
Exceptions
| ParserConfigurationException | Indicates a serious configuration error. |
Errors
| FactoryConfigurationError | Thrown when a problem with configuration with the Parser Factories exists. |
