Attribute

From JAXXWiki

An XML attribute is a key that appears within an XML element. In the XML following XML code: 

<JButton label='Cancel' onActionPerformed='dispose()'/>

there is one XML element, JButton, and two attributes, label and onActionPerformed.

The meaning of an XML attribute depends on the element in which it appears. As most elements that appear within JAXX files are class tags, most attributes are processed according to the semantics of DefaultObjectHandler.
