Defines interfaces and classes for the Streaming API for XML (StAX).
StAX provides two basic functions: the cursor API allowing users to read and write XML efficiently, and the event iterator API promoting ease of use that is event based, easy to extend and pipeline. The event iterator API is intended to layer on top of the cursor API.
The cursor API defines two interfaces: XMLStreamReader
and XMLStreamWriter, while the event iterator API defines:
XMLEventReader and XMLEventWriter.
StAX supports plugability with XMLInputFactory and
XMLOutputFactory that define how an implementation is
located through a process as described in the newFactory
methods.
