               throws IOException,
                      SAXException

  Describe 'parse' method here.

  Specified by:

### setContentHandler

    public void setContentHandler(ContentHandler poHandler)

  Allow an application to register a content event handler. If the application does not register a content handler, all content events reported by the SAX parser will be silently ignored.

  Applications may register a new or different handler in the middle of a parse, and the SAX parser must begin using the new handler immediately.

  Specified by:

  Parameters:
    `poHandler` - a `ContentHandler` The XML content handler
  Throws:
    `NullPointerException` - If the handler argument is null

### getContentHandler

    public ContentHandler getContentHandler()

  Return the content handler.

  Specified by:
    `getContentHandler` in interface `XMLReader`
  Returns:
    a `ContentHandler` The current content handler, or null if none has been registered.
