| Microsoft XML Core Services (MSXML) 5.0 - SAX2 Reference |  |
MXValidator CoClass
The MXValidator CoClass is a SAX XML filter that validates an XML stream. The MXValidator is inserted between the XML source and the XML consumer to validate the contents of the stream. The MXValidator validates the series of events generated by the ISAXContentHandler, and generates a new stream that includes all those events, plus some additional validation-related events. Input events are not buffered. Each input event generates at least one output event.
Controlling Validator Behavior
You can use the following methods to observe and control the behavior of the validator:
- getFeature
- Gets the current state of a validator feature.
- putFeature
- Enables and disables validator features.
