/**
|
||
* Interface for a list of XML attributes.
|
||
*
|
||
* <blockquote>
|
||
* <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
|
||
* Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
|
||
* See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>
|
||
* for further information.
|
||
* </blockquote>
|
||
*
|
||
* <p>This interface allows access to a list of attributes in
|
||
* three different ways:</p>
|
||
*
|
||
* <ol>
|
||
* <li>by attribute index;</li>
|
||
* <li>by Namespace-qualified name; or</li>
|
||
* <li>by qualified (prefixed) name.</li>
|
||
* </ol>
|
||
*
|
||
* <p>The list will not contain attributes that were declared
|
||
* #IMPLIED but not specified in the start tag. It will also not
|
||
* contain attributes used as Namespace declarations (xmlns*) unless
|
||
* the <code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes</code>
|
||
* feature is set to <var>true</var> (it is <var>false</var> by
|
||
* default).
|
||
* Because SAX2 conforms to the "Namespaces in XML" specification,
|
||
* it does not give namespace declaration attributes a namespace URI.
|
||
* Some other W3C specifications are in conflict with that, expecting
|
||
* these declarations to be in a namespace.
|
||
* Handler code may need to resolve that conflict.
|
||
* </p>
|
||
*
|
||
* <p>If the namespace-prefixes feature (see above) is <var>false</var>,
|
||
* access by qualified name may not be available; if the
|
||
* <code>http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces</code>
|
||
* feature is <var>false</var>, access by Namespace-qualified names
|
||
* may not be available.</p>
|
||
*
|
||
* <p>This interface replaces the now-deprecated SAX1 {@link
|
||
* org.xml.sax.AttributeList AttributeList} interface, which does not
|
||
* contain Namespace support. In addition to Namespace support, it
|
||
* adds the <var>getIndex</var> methods (below).</p>
|
||
*
|
||
* <p>The order of attributes in the list is unspecified, and will
|
||
* vary from implementation to implementation.</p>

||
*
