public abstract class SimpleState

extends State

base interface of the most of parsing states.

In this level of inheritance, contract is as follows.

1. startElement() event is received by the parent state. It usually creates a child state by this event.
2. startSelf method of the child SimpleState is called. derived classes should perform necessary things by reading start tag information.
3. Whenever startElement method is received by SimpleState object, createChildState method is called to create a child state. Derived classes are responsible for providing appropriate child state objects.
4. Child state handles descendants. Usually, it finishes parsing when it sees endElement.
5. When endElement() event is received by this object, it calls endSelf method and reverts to the parent state. Derived classes are responsible for doing anything necessary within endSelf method.

In other words, this state is only active for one hierarchy of XML elements and derived classes are responsible for three abstract methods.
