Attributes
All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface Attributes2
extends Attributes

SAX2 extension to augment the per-attribute information provided though Attributes. If an implementation supports this extension, the attributes provided in ContentHandler.startElement() will implement this interface, and the http://xml.org/sax/features/use-attributes2 feature flag will have the value true.

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

XMLReader implementations are not required to support this information, and it is not part of core-only SAX2 distributions.
