public class	DocumentHelper `DocumentHelper` is a collection of helper methods for using DOM4J.
public class	IllegalAddException `IllegalAddException` is thrown when a node is added incorrectly to an `Element`
public class	InvalidXPathException `InvalidXPathException` is thrown when an invalid XPath expression is used to traverse an XML document
public class	Namespace `Namespace` is a Flyweight Namespace that can be shared amongst nodes.
public class	QName `QName` represents a qualified name value of an XML element or attribute.
public abstract class	VisitorSupport `VisitorSupport` is an abstract base class which is useful for implementation inheritence or when using anonymous inner classes to create simple `Visitor` implementations.
public class	XPathException `XPathException` is thrown when an exception occurs while evaluating an XPath expression, usually due to some function throwing an exception.
