Deprecated Interfaces
Interface and Description
org.xml.sax.AttributeList This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 `Attributes` interface, which includes Namespace support.
org.apache.xml.dtm.ref.CoroutineParser Since the ability to start a parse via the coroutine protocol was not being used and was complicating design. See `IncrementalSAXSource`.
org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 `ContentHandler` interface, which includes Namespace support.
org.apache.xml.utils.DOMOrder Since the introduction of the DTM, this class will be removed. Nodes that implement this index can return a document order index. Eventually, this will be replaced by DOM 3 methods. (compareDocumentOrder and/or compareTreePosition.)
org.apache.xalan.serialize.DOMSerializer Use org.apache.xml.serializer.DOMSerializer
org.xml.sax.Parser This interface has been replaced by the SAX2 `XMLReader` interface, which includes Namespace support.
org.apache.xalan.serialize.Serializer Use org.apache.xml.serializer.Serializer
org.apache.xalan.transformer.TransformSnapshot It doesn't look like this code, which is for tooling, has functioned propery for a while, so it doesn't look like it is being used.

Deprecated Classes
Class and Description
org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributeListImpl This class implements a deprecated interface, `AttributeList`; that interface has been replaced by `Attributes`, which is implemented in the `AttributesImpl` helper class.
org.apache.xml.utils.DOM2Helper Since the introduction of the DTM, this class will be removed. This class provides a DOM level 2 "helper", which provides services currently not provided be the DOM standard.
org.apache.xml.utils.DOMHelper Since the introduction of the DTM, this class will be removed. This class provides a front-end to DOM implementations, providing a number of utility functions that either aren't yet standardized by the DOM spec or that are defined in optional DOM modules and hence may not be present in all DOMs.
org.apache.xalan.xsltc.dom.ForwardPositionIterator This class exists only for backwards compatibility with old translets. New code should not reference it.
org.xml.sax.HandlerBase This class works with the deprecated `DocumentHandler` interface. It has been replaced by the SAX2 `DefaultHandler` class.
org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory This class works with the deprecated `Parser` interface.
org.apache.xpath.operations.Quo
org.apache.xalan.serialize.SerializerFactory The new class to use is org.apache.xml.serializer.SerializerFactory
org.apache.xml.serializer.ToHTMLSAXHandler As of Xalan 2.7.1, replaced by the use of `ToXMLSAXHandler`.
org.apache.xml.serializer.ToTextSAXHandler As of Xalan 2.7.1, replaced by the use of `ToXMLSAXHandler`.
org.apache.xalan.processor.XSLProcessorVersion To be replaced by org.apache.xalan.Version.getVersion()
