Namespaces

• Namespace support is turned on by default.

• xmlns and xmlns:prefix attributes are not reported as attributes

• These methods report the namespace declarations for a START_ELEMENT event (bindings going into scope) or an END_ELEMENT event (bindings going out of scope):

  public int    getNamespaceCount()
  public String getNamespacePrefix(int index)
  public String getNamespaceURI(int index)

• These methods return namespace information for the current element in a START_ELEMENT event or an END_ELEMENT event:

  public String getNamespaceURI()
  public String getPrefix()

• This method returns a namespace context that can be used to query all the namespaces in scope inside a particular element (START_ELEMENT event or an END_ELEMENT event):

  public NamespaceContext getNamespaceContext()

  This is only valid until the next call to next() (or nextTag()).
