## org.xml.sax.helpers
Class ParserFactory

    java.lang.Object
      org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory

Deprecated. This class works with the deprecated `Parser` interface.

public class ParserFactory
extends Object

Java-specific class for dynamically loading SAX parsers.

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

Note: This class is designed to work with the now-deprecated SAX1 `Parser` class. SAX2 applications should use `XMLReaderFactory` instead.

ParserFactory is not part of the platform-independent definition of SAX; it is an additional convenience class designed specifically for Java XML application writers. SAX applications can use the static methods in this class to allocate a SAX parser dynamically at run-time based either on the value of the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property or on a string containing the class name.

Note that the application still requires an XML parser that implements SAX1.

Since:
  SAX 1.0

  `Parser`, `Class`

Method Summary
`static Parser` | `makeParser()` Deprecated. Create a new SAX parser using the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.
`static Parser` | `makeParser(String className)` Deprecated. Create a new SAX parser object using the class name provided.

Method Detail

### makeParser

    public static Parser makeParser()
                             throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                    IllegalAccessException,
                                    InstantiationException,
                                    NullPointerException,
                                    ClassCastException

  Deprecated.
  Create a new SAX parser using the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.

  The named class must exist and must implement the `Parser` interface.

  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - There is no value for the `org.xml.sax.parser' system property.
    `ClassNotFoundException` - The SAX parser class was not found (check your CLASSPATH).
    `IllegalAccessException` - The SAX parser class was found, but you do not have permission to load it.
    `InstantiationException` - The SAX parser class was found but could not be instantiated.
    `ClassCastException` - The SAX parser class was found and instantiated, but does not implement org.xml.sax.Parser.

    `makeParser(java.lang.String)`, `Parser`

### makeParser

    public static Parser makeParser(String className)
                             throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                    IllegalAccessException,
                                    InstantiationException,
                                    ClassCastException

  Deprecated.
  Create a new SAX parser object using the class name provided.

  The named class must exist and must implement the `Parser` interface.

  Parameters:
    `className` - A string containing the name of the SAX parser class.
  Throws:
    `ClassNotFoundException` - The SAX parser class was not found (check your CLASSPATH).
    `IllegalAccessException` - The SAX parser class was found, but you do not have permission to load it.
    `InstantiationException` - The SAX parser class was found but could not be instantiated.
    `ClassCastException` - The SAX parser class was found and instantiated, but does not implement org.xml.sax.Parser.

    `makeParser()`, `Parser`
