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 aDocument
from XML.
An instance of this class can be obtained from theDocumentBuilderFactory.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 aDocument
. It merely requires that the implementation communicate with the application using these existing APIs.
An implementation ofDocumentBuilder
isNOT 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 theDocumentBuilder
per thread or it is upto the application to make sure about the use ofDocumentBuilder
from more than one thread.

parse(java.io.InputStream is) Parse the content of the given InputStream as an XML document and return a new DOMDocument object. | |
parse(java.io.InputStream is, java.lang.String systemId) Parse the content of the given InputStream as an XML document and return a new DOMDocument object. | |
parse(java.lang.String uri) Parse the content of the given URI as an XML document and return a new DOM Document object. | |
setEntityResolver(EntityResolver er) Specify the EntityResolver to be used to resolve entities present in the XML document to be parsed. | |
setErrorHandler(ErrorHandler eh) Specify the ErrorHandler to be used to report errors present in the XML document to be parsed. |
