package org.w3c.dom.ls;

import org.w3c.dom.DOMException;

DOMImplementationLS contains the factory methods for creating Load and Save objects.

The expectation is that an instance of the DOMImplementationLS interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the DOMImplementation interface or, if the Document supports the feature "Core" version "3.0" defined in [DOM Level 3 Core] , by using the method DOMImplementation.getFeature with parameter values "LS" (or "LS-Async") and "3.0" (respectively).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification.

Since:1.5
/** * <code>DOMImplementationLS</code> contains the factory methods for creating * Load and Save objects. * <p> The expectation is that an instance of the * <code>DOMImplementationLS</code> interface can be obtained by using * binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the * <code>DOMImplementation</code> interface or, if the <code>Document</code> * supports the feature <code>"Core"</code> version <code>"3.0"</code> * defined in * [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>DOM Level 3 Core</a>] * , by using the method <code>DOMImplementation.getFeature</code> with * parameter values <code>"LS"</code> (or <code>"LS-Async"</code>) and * <code>"3.0"</code> (respectively). * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'> Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification</a>. * * @since 1.5 */

Create a synchronous LSParser.
/** * Create a synchronous <code>LSParser</code>. */
public static final short MODE_SYNCHRONOUS = 1;
Create an asynchronous LSParser.
/** * Create an asynchronous <code>LSParser</code>. */
public static final short MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS = 2;
Create a new LSParser. The newly constructed parser may then be configured by means of its DOMConfiguration object, and used to parse documents by means of its parse method.
Params:
  • mode – The mode argument is either MODE_SYNCHRONOUS or MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS, if mode is MODE_SYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in synchronous mode, if it's MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS then the LSParser that is created will operate in asynchronous mode.
  • schemaType – An absolute URI representing the type of the schema language used during the load of a Document using the newly created LSParser. Note that no lexical checking is done on the absolute URI. In order to create a LSParser for any kind of schema types (i.e. the LSParser will be free to use any schema found), use the value null.

    Note: For W3C XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". For XML DTD [XML 1.0], applications must use the value "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml". Other Schema languages are outside the scope of the W3C and therefore should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.

Throws:
  • DOMException – NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the requested mode or schema type is not supported.
Returns: The newly created LSParser object. This LSParser is either synchronous or asynchronous depending on the value of the mode argument.

Note: By default, the newly created LSParser does not contain a DOMErrorHandler, i.e. the value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter is null. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter on the new LSParser object contains a reference to the default error handler.
