| Introduction |

| The Xerces2 Java Parser 2.11.0 contains an implementation of the Document Object Model Level 3 Core and Document Object Model Level 3 Load and Save Recommendations. To learn how to program with the DOM Level 3 see dom.DOM3 sample.

DOM Level 3 Core DOMConfiguration `parameters` supported are:

- error-handler [ DOMErrorHandler ]
- resource-resolver [ LSResourceResolver ]
- schema-type [ String ]
- schema-location [ String ]
- canonical-form [ false ]
- cdata-sections [ true/false ]
- comments [ true/false ]
- namespaces [ true/false ]
- entities [ true/false ]
- infoset [ true/false ]
- namespace-declarations [ true/false ]
- normalize-characters [ false ]
- split-cdata-sections [ true/false ]
- validate-if-schema [ true/false ]
- element-content-whitespace [ true ]
- datatype-normalization [ true/false ]
- validate [ true/false ] -- revalidation is only supported against XML Schemas and DTDs. For more information, please refer to How to revalidate DOM in memory? .
- validate-if-schema [ true/false ]
- check-character-normalization [ false ]
- well-formed [ true/false ]
- psvi [ true/false ] -- (NON-DOM) setting the value of this parameter to true will include PSVI information in the DOM tree.
