The following example shows the usage of Javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser.getProperty() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser;
import javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory;

public class SaxParserDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // get a property that is commonly used
      final String property =
         "http://apache.org/xml/properties/input-buffer-size";

      // create a new SAXParserFactory
      SAXParserFactory factory = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();

      try {
         // get a new SAXParser
         SAXParser parser = factory.newSAXParser();

         // set the property
         parser.setProperty(property, new Integer(2048));

         // get the property value
         System.out.println("" + parser.getProperty(property));

      } catch (Exception ex) {
