Remarks

Interface for an element's attribute specifications.

<blockquote> <em>This module, both source code and documentation, is in the Public Domain, and comes with <strong>NO WARRANTY</strong>.</em> See http://www.saxproject.org for further information. </blockquote>

This is the original SAX1 interface for reporting an element's attributes. Unlike the new org.xml.sax.Attributes Attributes interface, it does not support Namespace-related information.

When an attribute list is supplied as part of a org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler#startElement startElement event, the list will return valid results only during the scope of the event; once the event handler returns control to the parser, the attribute list is invalid. To save a persistent copy of the attribute list, use the SAX1 org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl AttributeListImpl helper class.

An attribute list includes only attributes that have been specified or defaulted: #IMPLIED attributes will not be included.

There are two ways for the SAX application to obtain information from the AttributeList. First, it can iterate through the entire list:

public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts) {
              for (int i = 0; i < atts.getLength(); i++) {
                String name = atts.getName(i);
                String type = atts.getType(i);
                String value = atts.getValue(i);
                [...]
              }
            }

(Note that the result of getLength() will be zero if there are no attributes.)

As an alternative, the application can request the value or type of specific attributes:

public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts) {
              String identifier = atts.getValue("id");
              String label = atts.getValue("label");
              [...]
            }

This member is deprecated. This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 org.xml.sax.Attributes Attributes interface, which includes Namespace support.

Added in SAX 1.0.
