## org.apache.xerces.dom3
Interface DOMLocator

public interface DOMLocator

DOM Level 3 WD Experimental: The DOM Level 3 specification is at the stage of Working Draft, which represents work in progress and thus may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time.

`DOMLocator` is an interface that describes a location (e.g. where an error occured).

See also the Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Core Specification.

Method Summary
`int` | `getColumnNumber()` The column number where the error occured, or -1 if there is no column number available.
`int` | `getLineNumber()` The line number where the error occured, or -1 if there is no line number available.
`int` | `getOffset()` The byte or character offset into the input source, if we're parsing a file or a byte stream then this will be the byte offset into that stream, but if a character media is parsed then the offset will be the character offset.
`org.w3c.dom.Node` | `getRelatedNode()` The node this locator is pointing to, or null if no node is available
`java.lang.String` | `getUri()` The URI where the error occured, or null if there is no URI available.
