26/**
27 * <p>
28 * Defines interfaces and classes for the Streaming API for XML (StAX).
29 *
30 * <p>
31 * StAX provides two basic functions: the cursor API allowing users to
32 * read and write XML efficiently, and the event iterator API promoting
33 * ease of use that is event based, easy to extend and pipeline.
34 * The event iterator API is intended to layer on top of the cursor API.
35 *
36 * <p>
37 * The cursor API defines two interfaces: {@link XMLStreamReader}
38 * and {@link XMLStreamWriter}, while the event iterator API defines:
39 * {@link XMLEventReader} and {@link XMLEventWriter}.
40 *
41 * <p>
42 * StAX supports plugability with {@link XMLInputFactory} and
43 * {@link XMLOutputFactory} that define how an implementation is
44 * located through a process as described in the {@link newFactory}
45 * method.
46 *
