javax.xml.stream.events
Interface StartEntity
- All Superinterfaces:
- XMLEvent, XMLStreamConstants
- public interface StartEntity
- extends XMLEvent
An interface for the StartEntity event.
Entities are handled in three possible ways:
1) Optionally All entity references are resolved and reported as markup transparently.
2) Entity references may be reported as an EntityReference Event
3) External and internal entity references may be wrapped with StartEntity(name)/EndEntity(name) pairs and resolved.
The process of resolution may result in many events being generated that are bracketed by nested StartEntity/EndEntity
pairs.
The StartEntity and EndEntity events are used
to bracket a set of events that are the result
of processing a complex entity that results
in many events.
