NAME

       Bio::SearchIO::XML::BlastHandler - XML Handler for NCBI Blast XML parsing.

SYNOPSIS

	 # This is not to be used directly.

DESCRIPTION

       This is the XML handler for BLAST XML parsing. Currently it passes elements off to the event handler, which is ultimately responsible for
       Bio::Search object generation.

       This was recently split off from the original code for Bio::SearchIO::blastxml primarily for maintenance purposes.

DEPENDENCIES

       In addition to parts of the Bio:: hierarchy, this module uses:

	XML::SAX::Base

       which comes with the XML::SAX distribution.
