ISAXAttributes Interface

The ISAXAttributes/IVBSAXAttributes interface allows access to a list of attributes by:

attribute index
namespace-qualified name
qualified (prefixed) name

Attributes that are declared #IMPLIED, but not specified in the start tag, are not in the list. In addition, attributes used as namespace declarations (xmlns*) are not in the list unless the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespace-prefixes" feature is set to True. (It is False by default.)

If the namespace-prefixes feature is False, access by qualified name (QName) may not be available.

If the "http://xml.org/sax/features/namespaces" feature is False, access by namespace-qualified names may not be available.

Note Information provided during an event call is valid only during the invocation of that event. This applies to both strings and interfaces. Performance would decrease significantly otherwise.

getLocalName	Finds an attribute's local name by index.
getQName	Finds an attribute's qualified name (QName) by index.
getType	Finds an attribute by index and returns the attribute's type, as declared in the document type definition (DTD) or schema.
getTypeFromName	Finds an attribute by namespace name and returns the attribute's type, as declared in the DTD or schema.
getTypeFromQName	Finds an attribute by XML 1.0 qualified name and returns the attribute's type, as declared in the DTD or schema.
