Class SAXValidator

  • public class SAXValidator
extends Object

    SAXValidator validates an XML document by writing the document to a text buffer and parsing it with a validating SAX parser. This could be implemented much more efficiently by validating against the dom4j object model directly but at least allows the reuse of existing SAX based validating parsers.
