/**
 * SAX2 extension handler for DTD declaration events.
 *
 * <p>This is an optional extension handler for SAX2 to provide
 * information about DTD declarations in an XML document.  XML
 * readers are not required to support this handler, and this
 * handler is not included in the core SAX2 distribution.</p>
 *
 * <p>Note that data-related DTD declarations (unparsed entities and
 * notations) are already reported through the {@link
 * DTDHandler DTDHandler} interface.</p>
 *
 * <p>If you are using the declaration handler together with a lexical
 * handler, all of the events will occur between the
 * {@link LexicalHandler#startDTD startDTD} and the
 * {@link LexicalHandler#endDTD endDTD} events.</p>
 *
 * <p>To set the DeclHandler for an XML reader, use the
 * {@link XMLReader#setProperty setProperty} method
 * with the propertyId "http://xml.org/sax/properties/declaration-handler".
 * If the reader does not support declaration events, it will throw a
 * {@link SAXNotRecognizedException SAXNotRecognizedException}
 * or a
 * {@link SAXNotSupportedException SAXNotSupportedException}
 * when you attempt to register the handler.</p>
