Provides facilities for parsing XML documents and building Document Object
Model (DOM) trees from them. The
{@link javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory} class serves as an entry point
to event-based XML parsing. The
{@link javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory} class is an entry point
for dealing with DOM trees. Both factories are usually configured
before their factory methods are invoked. They then try to create a
{@link javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser} or a
{@link javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder} (respectively) suiting the
application's needs. If none can be found, an Exception is thrown.
</p>
<p>
Note that in order to cater for resource-constrained environments,
Android's XML packages currently only provide DOM Level 2 Core support
and a non-validating parser. This means that (a) the interface for the
various DOM classes might differ from other implementations and (b)
requesting a validating parser will always fail.
