MXValidator CoClass

The MXValidator CoClass is a SAX XML filter that validates an XML stream. The MXValidator is inserted between the XML source and the XML consumer to validate the contents of the stream. The MXValidator validates the series of events generated by the ISAXContentHandler, and generates a new stream that includes all those events, plus some additional validation-related events. Input events are not buffered. Each input event generates at least one output event.
