ParseOptions

java.lang.Object
- net.sf.saxon.lib.ParseOptions

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable
```
public class ParseOptions
extends Object
implements Serializable
```
This class defines options for parsing and/or validating a source document. Some of the options are relevant only when parsing, some only when validating, but they are combined into a single class because the two operations are often performed together.

    Say that processing should continue after a validation error. Note that all validation errors are reported to the error() method of the ErrorListener, and processing always continues except when this method chooses to throw an exception. At the end of the document, a fatal error is thrown if (a) there have been any validation errors, and (b) this option is not set.
    
    Parameters:
    keepGoing - true if processing should continue
  - isContinueAfterValidationErrors
```
public boolean isContinueAfterValidationErrors()
```
    Ask whether processing should continue after a validation error. Note that all validation errors are reported to the error() method of the ErrorListener, and processing always continues except when this method chooses to throw an exception. At the end of the document, a fatal error is thrown if (a) there have been any validation errors, and (b) this option is not set.

    Parameters:
    keepGoing - true if comments should be added
    Since:
    
    9.3. Default is now false; in previous releases this option was always on.
  - isAddCommentsAfterValidationErrors
```
public boolean isAddCommentsAfterValidationErrors()
```
    Ask whether on validation errors, messages explaining the error should (where possible) be written as comments in the validated source document. This option is only relevant when processing continues after a validation error

    Parameters:
    params - the validation parameters
  - getValidationParams
```
public ValidationParams getValidationParams()
```
    Get the validation parameters. These are the values of variables declared in the schema using the saxon:param extension, and referenced in XSD assertions (or CTA expressions) associated with user-defined types
    
    Returns:
    the validation parameters
  - setCheckEntityReferences
```
public void setCheckEntityReferences(boolean check)
```
    Say whether to check elements and attributes of type xs:ENTITY (or xs:ENTITIES) against the unparsed entities declared in the document's DTD. This is normally true when performing standalone schema validation, false when invoking validation from XSLT or XQuery.
    
    Parameters:
    check - true if entities are to be checked, false otherwise
  - isCheckEntityReferences
```
public boolean isCheckEntityReferences()
```
    Ask whether to check elements and attributes of type xs:ENTITY (or xs:ENTITIES) against the unparsed entities declared in the document's DTD. This is normally true when performing standalone schema validation, false when invoking validation from XSLT or XQuery.
    
    Returns:
    true if entities are to be checked, false otherwise
  - setPleaseCloseAfterUse
```
public void setPleaseCloseAfterUse(boolean close)
```
    Set whether or not the user of this Source is encouraged to close it as soon as reading is finished. Normally the expectation is that any Stream in a StreamSource will be closed by the component that created the Stream. However, in the case of a Source returned by a URIResolver, there is no suitable interface (the URIResolver has no opportunity to close the stream). Also, in some cases such as reading of stylesheet modules, it is possible to close the stream long before control is returned to the caller who supplied it. This tends to make a difference on .NET, where a file often can't be opened if there is a stream attached to it.
    
    Parameters:
    close - true if the source should be closed as soon as it has been consumed
  - isPleaseCloseAfterUse
```
public boolean isPleaseCloseAfterUse()
```
    Determine whether or not the user of this Source is encouraged to close it as soon as reading is finished.
    
    Returns:
    true if the source should be closed as soon as it has been consumed
  - close
```
public static void close(Source source)
```
    Close any resources held by a given Source. This only works if the underlying Source is one that is recognized as holding closable resources.
    
    Parameters:
    source - the source to be closed
    Since:
    
    9.2
