Saxon

DefaultHandler and ContentHandler belong to the SAX package - they are nothing to do with Saxon, except that Saxon uses them. ContentHandler is an interface that works with a SAX parser to receive notification of parsing events. DefaultHandler is a class that implements the ContentHandler interface - it's provided for convenience so that by writing a class that extends DefaultHandler, you create an implementation of ContentHandler that provides a default "do nothing" implementation of all the parser callback methods. Most good general-purpose books on XML (especially XML with Java) will include a chapter on SAX programming. I would recommend the one by Elliotte Rusty Harold, which devotes almost 50 pages to the subject.
