Making an XMLReader

• The XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader() method instantiates an XMLReader subclass named by the org.xml.sax.driver system property:

  try {
    XMLReader parser = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader();
  } 
  catch (SAXException e) {
    System.err.println(e);
  }
  

• The XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(String className) method instantiates an XMLReader subclass named by its argument:

  try {
    XMLReader parser 
     = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(   
        "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser");
  } 
  catch (SAXException e) {
    System.err.println(e);
  }
  

• Or you can use the constructor in the package-specific class:

  XMLReader parser = new SAXParser();
