Get the current validation context for this reader. The validation context is used both for tracking problems, and to determine the appropriate handling when a problem occurs.

Returns:

context

pushValidationContext

Push a validation context on this reader. The supplied validation context is popped after processing the end tag for the current element.

Parameters:
