- <p>The SAX API defines five kinds of handlers: content handlers, DTD handlers,
- error handlers, entity resolvers and lexical handlers. Applications normally

- they can implement the interfaces in a single object or in multiple objects.
- Handler implementations should inherit from the base classes provided in the
- module <a class="reference internal" href="#module-xml.sax.handler" title="xml.sax.handler: Base classes for SAX event handlers."><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">xml.sax.handler</span></code></a>, so that all methods get default implementations.</p>
