# Interface DOMImplementationLS

public interface DOMImplementationLS
`DOMImplementationLS` contains the factory methods for creating Load and Save objects.

The expectation is that an instance of the `DOMImplementationLS` interface can be obtained by using binding-specific casting methods on an instance of the `DOMImplementation` interface or, if the `Document` supports the feature `"Core"` version `"3.0"` defined in [DOM Level 3 Core] , by using the method `DOMImplementation.getFeature` with parameter values `"LS"` (or `"LS-Async"`) and `"3.0"` (respectively).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load and Save Specification.

- ## Method Details

  - ### createLSParser

    LSParser createLSParser(short mode, String schemaType) throws DOMException
    Create a new `LSParser`. The newly constructed parser may then be configured by means of its `DOMConfiguration` object, and used to parse documents by means of its `parse` method.
    Parameters:
      `mode` - The `mode` argument is either `MODE_SYNCHRONOUS` or `MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS`, if `mode` is `MODE_SYNCHRONOUS` then the `LSParser` that is created will operate in synchronous mode, if it's `MODE_ASYNCHRONOUS` then the `LSParser` that is created will operate in asynchronous mode.
      `schemaType` - An absolute URI representing the type of the schema language used during the load of a `Document` using the newly created `LSParser`. Note that no lexical checking is done on the absolute URI. In order to create a `LSParser` for any kind of schema types (i.e. the LSParser will be free to use any schema found), use the value `null`.

      Note: For W3C XML Schema [XML Schema Part 1] , applications must use the value `"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"`. For XML DTD [XML 1.0], applications must use the value `"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml"`. Other Schema languages are outside the scope of the W3C and therefore should recommend an absolute URI in order to use this method.

    Returns:
      The newly created `LSParser` object. This `LSParser` is either synchronous or asynchronous depending on the value of the `mode` argument.

      Note: By default, the newly created `LSParser` does not contain a `DOMErrorHandler`, i.e. the value of the "error-handler" configuration parameter is `null`. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the `"error-handler"` configuration parameter on the new `LSParser` object contains a reference to the default error handler.

    Throws:
      `DOMException` - NOT_SUPPORTED_ERR: Raised if the requested mode or schema type is not supported.

  - ### createLSSerializer

    LSSerializer createLSSerializer()
    Create a new `LSSerializer` object.
    Returns:
      The newly created `LSSerializer` object.

      Note: By default, the newly created `LSSerializer` has no `DOMErrorHandler`, i.e. the value of the `"error-handler"` configuration parameter is `null`. However, implementations may provide a default error handler at creation time. In that case, the initial value of the `"error-handler"` configuration parameter on the new `LSSerializer` object contains a reference to the default error handler.

  - ### createLSInput

    LSInput createLSInput()
    Create a new empty input source object where `LSInput.characterStream`, `LSInput.byteStream` , `LSInput.stringData` `LSInput.systemId`, `LSInput.publicId`, `LSInput.baseURI`, and `LSInput.encoding` are null, and `LSInput.certifiedText` is false.
    Returns:
      The newly created input object.

  - ### createLSOutput

    LSOutput createLSOutput()
    Create a new empty output destination object where `LSOutput.characterStream`, `LSOutput.byteStream`, `LSOutput.systemId`, `LSOutput.encoding` are null.
    Returns:
      The newly created output object.
