Attributes.
If an implementation supports this extension, the attributes
provided in ContentHandler.startElement() will implement this interface,
and the http://xml.org/sax/features/use-attributes2
feature flag will have the value true.
XMLReader implementations are not required to support this information, and it is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.
Note that if an attribute was defaulted (!isSpecified()) it will of necessity also have been declared (isDeclared()) in the DTD. Similarly if an attribute's type is anything except CDATA, then it must have been declared.
| Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
|---|---|
| public boolean | Returns: true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.The attribute index (zero-based). index)Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. |
| public boolean | Returns: true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.The XML qualified (prefixed) name. qName)Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. |
| public boolean | Returns: true if the attribute was declared in the DTD, false otherwise.The Namespace URI, or the empty string if
the name has no Namespace URI. uri, String The attribute's local name. localName)Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. |
| public boolean | Returns: true if the value was found in the XML text, false if the value was provided by DTD defaulting.The attribute index (zero-based). index)Returns true unless the attribute value was provided by DTD defaulting. |

| isDeclared | back to summary |
|---|---|
| public boolean isDeclared(int index) Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. This helps distinguish two kinds of attributes that SAX reports as CDATA: ones that were declared (and hence are usually valid), and those that were not (and which are never valid).

| public boolean isDeclared(String uri, String localName) Returns false unless the attribute was declared in the DTD. This helps distinguish two kinds of attributes that SAX reports as CDATA: ones that were declared (and hence are usually valid), and those that were not (and which are never valid). Remember that since DTDs do not "understand" namespaces, the namespace URI associated with an attribute may not have come from the DTD. The declaration will have applied to the attribute's qName.
