Oracle XML Parser V1 and V2

Version 2 of the XML Parser for Java, besides incorporating an XSL-T processor, has been re-architected from version 1. This has resulted in a number of changes to the class names especially those that support Namespaces. The following summarizes changes you have to take into account when converting code from v1 to v2.

Note: This summary is based upon XML Parser versions v1.0.1.4 as v1 and v2.0.0.0 as v2.

NEW CLASS STRUCTURE

oracle.xml.parser package has been renamed to oracle.xml.parser.v2.

The following are new interfaces:

• NSName

• XMLDocumentHandler

The following interfaces have been removed:

• NSAttr

• NSAttributeList

• NSDocumentHandler

• NSElement

The following are new classes in v2:

• DOMParser

• DefaultXMLDocumentHandler

• SAXAttrList

• SAXParser

• XSLProcessor

• XSLStylesheet

• XSLException

Within this package the classes have been reorganized as follows:
