# Class ParserDelegator

java.lang.Object
javax.swing.text.html.HTMLEditorKit.Parser
javax.swing.text.html.parser.ParserDelegator

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`

public class ParserDelegator extends HTMLEditorKit.Parser implements Serializable
Responsible for starting up a new DocumentParser each time its parse method is invoked. Stores a reference to the dtd.

Warning: Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with future Swing releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Swing. As of 1.4, support for long term storage of all JavaBeans has been added to the `java.beans` package.
