XMLStreamLocation2 getContext()

Method that can be used to traverse nested locations, like ones created when expanding entities (especially external entities). If so, single location object only contains information about specific offsets and ids, and a link to its context. Outermost location will return null to indicate there is no more information to retrieve.

Returns:

Location in the context (parent input source), if any; null for locations in the outermost known context
