# Class XMLReaderAdapter

java.lang.Object
org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderAdapter

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `ContentHandler`, `Parser`

public class XMLReaderAdapter extends Object implements Parser, ContentHandler
Adapt a SAX2 XMLReader as a SAX1 Parser.

This class wraps a SAX2 `XMLReader` and makes it act as a SAX1 `Parser`. The XMLReader must support a true value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes property or parsing will fail with a `SAXException`; if the XMLReader supports a false value for the http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces property, that will also be used to improve efficiency.

Since:
  1.4, SAX 2.0

- ## Constructor Details

  - ### XMLReaderAdapter

    public XMLReaderAdapter() throws SAXException
    Create a new adapter.

    Use the "org.xml.sax.driver" property to locate the SAX2 driver to embed.

    Throws:
      `SAXException` - If the embedded driver cannot be instantiated or if the org.xml.sax.driver property is not specified.

  - ### XMLReaderAdapter

    public XMLReaderAdapter(XMLReader xmlReader)

    Create a new adapter, wrapped around a SAX2 XMLReader. The adapter will make the XMLReader act like a SAX1 Parser.

    Parameters:
      `xmlReader` - The SAX2 XMLReader to wrap.
    Throws:
      `NullPointerException` - If the argument is null.
