This class contains static methods for creating an XML reader * from an explicit class name, or based on runtime defaults:

* *
 * try {
 *   XMLReader myReader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
 * } catch (SAXException e) {
 *   System.err.println(e.getMessage());
 * }
 * 
* *

Note to Distributions bundled with parsers: * You should modify the implementation of the no-arguments * createXMLReader to handle cases where the external * configuration mechanisms aren't set up. That method should do its * best to return a parser when one is in the class path, even when * nothing bound its class name to org.xml.sax.driver so * those configuration mechanisms would see it.
