### LaxValidator

    public LaxValidator()

Method Detail

### startElement

    public void startElement(int nameCode,
                             int typeCode,
                             int locationId,
                             int properties)
                      throws XPathException

  Output element start tag for a child element

  Specified by:
    `startElement` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `startElement` in class `ContentValidator`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - integer code identifying the name of the element within the name pool.
    `typeCode` - integer code identifying the element's type within the name pool.
    `locationId` - an integer which can be interpreted using a `LocationProvider` to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
    `properties` - properties of the element node
  Throws:
    `XPathException`

### getChildValidator

    public ContentValidator getChildValidator()

  Description copied from class: `ContentValidator`
  Get a validator to handle the children of the current element. This is called immediately on return from the startElement call that starts this element.

### attribute

    public void attribute(int nameCode,
                          int typeCode,
                          CharSequence value,
                          int locationId,
                          int properties)
                   throws XPathException

  Handle an attribute

  Specified by:
    `attribute` in interface `Receiver`
  Overrides:
    `attribute` in class `ProxyReceiver`
  Parameters:
    `nameCode` - integer identifying the name of the attribute
    `typeCode` - integer identifying the type annotation of the attribute
    `value` - the value of the attribute
    `properties` - bit-significant flags indicating special action to be taken
    `locationId` - an integer which can be interpreted using a `LocationProvider` to return information such as line number and system ID. If no location information is available, the value zero is supplied.
  Throws:
    `XPathException` - On any failure to write the attribute

### characters

    public void characters(CharSequence chars,
                           int locationId,
