Interface DefaultOpenSearchContentHandler

All Superinterfaces:
org.xml.sax.ContentHandler, DefaultContentHandler, ResettableContentHandler

public interface DefaultOpenSearchContentHandler
extends DefaultContentHandler

Extension of the AtomThreadingContentHandler interface that provides convenience methods to more easily generate ATOM threading events.

The atomXXX methods generate complete ATOM tags, consisting of the start tag, an optional body and an end tag.

The startXXX methods are provided for convenience for those cases when no extra attributes are required for a starting element.

The dateTime methods write a date string in RFC3339 date format into a text() element.

The uri methods serialize URIs into a text() element.

The text methods serialize text() elements.

6.1
