## Class ParserFactory

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

-     @Deprecated(since="1.5")
      public class ParserFactory
      extends Object

  Deprecated.
  This class works with the deprecated `Parser` interface.
  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. See http://www.saxproject.org for further information.

  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:
    1.4, SAX 1.0

    - #### makeParser

          public static Parser makeParser()
                                   throws ClassNotFoundException,
                                          IllegalAccessException,

                                          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.

                                          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.
