This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with NO WARRANTY.

This is ARP specific documentation, for the general SAX documentation try the Xerces copy.

In ARP, three subclasses of SAXException are used.

SAXException

Used both in RDF and XML processing, to report non location specific errors by being thrown into user code; may be used to wrap some other exception.

SAXParseException

Used in XML processing, to report location specific parse errors typically by calling an error handler.

ParseException

Used in RDF processing, to report location specific parse errors typically by calling an error handler.

When using instanceof to distinguish these note that ParseException is a subclass of SAXParseException.

A SAXException may be created by an ARP user, to be an exception thrown by an ErrorHandler. Such an exception is not consumed by the ARP code, but reappears in user code thrown from ARP.load.
