    - #### getDocumentTypeDeclaration

          String getDocumentTypeDeclaration()

      Returns the entire Document Type Declaration as a string, including the internal DTD subset. This may be null if there is not an internal subset. If it is not null it must return the entire Document Type Declaration which matches the doctypedecl production in the XML 1.0 specification
      Returns:
        the Document Type Declaration

    - #### getProcessedDTD

          Object getProcessedDTD()

      Returns an implementation defined representation of the DTD. This method may return null if no representation is available.
      Returns:
        the representation of the DTD

    - #### getNotations

          List<NotationDeclaration> getNotations()

      Return a List containing the notations declared in the DTD. This list must contain NotationDeclaration events.
      Returns:
        an unordered list of NotationDeclaration events
      See Also:
        `NotationDeclaration`

    - #### getEntities

          List<EntityDeclaration> getEntities()

      Return a List containing the general entities, both external and internal, declared in the DTD. This list must contain EntityDeclaration events.
      Returns:
        an unordered list of EntityDeclaration events
