startElement(namespaceURI: String;
localName: String;
qualifiedName: String;
attributeCount: Integer);
The startElement event method of the JadeXMLParser class receives notification of the beginning of an element. The startElement event method parameters are listed in the following table.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| namespaceURI | Namespace URI or null ("") if the element has no namespace URI. |
| localName | Local name (without the prefix). |
| qualifiedName | Qualified name (with the prefix). |
| attributeCount | Number of attributes attached to the element. You can retrieve attributes by calling the get attribute methods (that is, the getAttribute, getAttributeValueByName, or getAttributeValueByNameNS method) from within the startElement method. |
The parser invokes this method (if implemented) at the beginning of every element in the XML document.
There is a corresponding endElement event for every startElement event (even when the element is empty).
All of the content of an element is reported, in order, before the corresponding endElement event.
