Access:

Readable/Writable

Applies to:

SAX-reader object handle

TRUE indicates that the parser validates the XML document against the DTD. The default is TRUE. Validation errors are caught in a callback event procedure named error. If this callback procedure is not implemented, then validation errors cannot be caught.

Note:

If VALIDATION-ENABLED is FALSE, the parser still checks that the XML document is well formed.
