Class SAXValidator

java.lang.Object
org.dom4j.io.SAXValidator
public class SAXValidator extends Object

SAXValidator validates an XML document by writing the document to a text buffer and parsing it with a validating SAX parser. This could be implemented much more efficiently by validating against the dom4j object model directly but at least allows the reuse of existing SAX based validating parsers.
