hi, I am looking for a Java XML parser which supports reading byte offset information during xml parsing, e.g. in '<foo><bar></bar></foo>', the parser can report '<bar>' starts from byte 5; and '</bar>' starts from byte 10 .
I went through standard APIs like DOM, SAX, and XMLPull and cannot find related APIs. In Sax, the nearest interface is org.xml.sax.Locator. I also checked Xerces XNI and found the nearest class is org.apache.xerces.xni.XMLLocator. In either class, only line number and column number are reported. However, similar functions are provided in other languages, such as the "XML_GetCurrentByteIndex" of expat parser (C, perl). so my question is whether there is a Java XML Parser reporting byte offset information during parsing, and if not, is there any plan to implement this feature? many thanks, Xiaoming --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
