DOMInputSource

• Like SAX2's InputSource class, this interface is an abstraction of all the different things (streams, files, byte arrays, sockets, URLs, etc.) from which an XML document can be read.

• Java Binding:

  package org.w3c.dom.loadSave;
  
  public interface DOMInputSource {
  
      public InputStream getByteStream();
      public void        setByteStream(InputStream in);
      public Reader      getCharacterStream();
      public void        setCharacterStream(Reader in);
  
      public String getEncoding();
      public void   setEncoding(String encoding);
      public String getPublicId();
      public void   setPublicId(String publicId);
      public String getSystemId();
      public void   setSystemId(String systemId);
  
  }
  

• IDL:

    interface DOMInputSource {
      attribute DOMInputStream  byteStream;
      attribute DOMReader       characterStream;
      attribute DOMString       encoding;
      attribute DOMString       publicId;
      attribute DOMString       systemId;
    };
