## Class XMLReaderAdapter

- java.lang.Object
- - org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    ContentHandler, Parser

      public class XMLReaderAdapter
      extends Object
      implements Parser, ContentHandler

  Adapt a SAX2 XMLReader as a SAX1 Parser.

  > This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

  This class wraps a SAX2 `XMLReader` and makes it act as a SAX1 `Parser`. The XMLReader must support a true value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes property or parsing will fail with a `SAXException`; if the XMLReader supports a false value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces property, that will also be used to improve efficiency.

  Since:
    SAX 2.0

    `Parser`, `XMLReader`

    - #### XMLReaderAdapter

          public XMLReaderAdapter()
                           throws SAXException

      Create a new adapter.

      Use the "org.xml.sax.driver" property to locate the SAX2 driver to embed.

        `SAXException` - If the embedded driver cannot be instantiated or if the org.xml.sax.driver property is not specified.

    - #### XMLReaderAdapter

          public XMLReaderAdapter(XMLReader xmlReader)

      Create a new adapter.

      Create a new adapter, wrapped around a SAX2 XMLReader. The adapter will make the XMLReader act like a SAX1 Parser.

      Parameters:
        `xmlReader` - The SAX2 XMLReader to wrap.
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - If the argument is null.
