18    * <p>This was the main event-handling interface for SAX1; in
19    * SAX2, it has been replaced by {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler
20    * ContentHandler}, which provides Namespace support and reporting
21    * of skipped entities. This interface is included in SAX2 only
22    * to support legacy SAX1 applications.</p>
23    *
24    * <p>The order of events in this interface is very important, and
25    * mirrors the order of information in the document itself. For
26    * example, all of an element's content (character data, processing
27    * instructions, and/or subelements) will appear, in order, between
28    * the startElement event and the corresponding endElement event.</p>
29    *
30    * <p>Application writers who do not want to implement the entire
31    * interface can derive a class from HandlerBase, which implements
32    * the default functionality; parser writers can instantiate
33    * HandlerBase to obtain a default handler. The application can find
34    * the location of any document event using the Locator interface
35    * supplied by the Parser through the setDocumentLocator method.</p>
36    *
37    * @deprecated This interface has been replaced by the SAX2
38    * {@link org.xml.sax.ContentHandler ContentHandler}
39    * interface, which includes Namespace support.
40    * @since SAX 1.0
