12  * SAX2 extension handler for DTD declaration events.
13  *
14  * <blockquote>
15  * <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the
16  * Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em>
17  * See <a href='http://www.saxproject.org'>http://www.saxproject.org</a>
18  * for further information.
19  * </blockquote>
20  *
21  * <p>This is an optional extension handler for SAX2 to provide more
22  * complete information about DTD declarations in an XML document.
23  * XML readers are not required to recognize this handler, and it
24  * is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.</p>
25  *
26  * <p>Note that data-related DTD declarations (unparsed entities and
27  * notations) are already reported through the {@link
28  * org.xml.sax.DTDHandler DTDHandler} interface.</p>
29  *
30  * <p>If you are using the declaration handler together with a lexical
31  * handler, all of the events will occur between the
32  * {@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler#startDTD startDTD} and the
33  * {@link org.xml.sax.ext.LexicalHandler#endDTD endDTD} events.</p>
34  *
35  * <p>To set the DeclHandler for an XML reader, use the
36  * {@link org.xml.sax.XMLReader#setProperty setProperty} method
37  * with the property name
38  * <code>http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler</code>
39  * and an object implementing this interface (or null) as the value.
40  * If the reader does not report declaration events, it will throw a
41  * {@link org.xml.sax.SAXNotRecognizedException SAXNotRecognizedException}
42  * when you attempt to register the handler.</p>
43  *
44  * @since SAX 2.0 (extensions 1.0)
