Parse a chunk of XML data generating SAX2 events

`sax2` : | sax2 object
`buffer` : | input buffer
`len` : | input buffer lenght
`is_end` : | non-0 if end of data
Returns : | non-0 on failure

### raptor_sax2_inscope_xml_language ()

    const unsigned char * raptor_sax2_inscope_xml_language  (raptor_sax2 *sax2);

The result is a language string which may be "" if xml:lang="" is given. NULL is returned only if there is no xml:lang in any outer scope.

`sax2` : | SAX2 object
Returns : | shared pointer to the XML language or NULL if none is in scope.

### raptor_sax2_inscope_base_uri ()

    raptor_uri *        raptor_sax2_inscope_base_uri        (raptor_sax2 *sax2);

Get the in-scope base URI

`sax2` : | SAX2 object
Returns : | the in-scope base URI shared object or NULL if none is in scope.
