Class org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory

public class ParserFactory

extends Object

This class is not part of the platform-independent definition of SAX; it is an additional convenience class designed specifically for Java XML application writers. SAX applications can use the static methods in this class to allocate a SAX parser dynamically at run-time based either on the value of the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property or on a string containing the class name.

Note that the application still requires an XML parser that implements SAX.
