/**
 * This class is intended to handle &lt;string&gt; element.
 * This element specifies {@link String} values.
 * The result value is created from text of the body of this element.
 * For example:<pre>
 * &lt;string&gt;description&lt;/string&gt;</pre>
 * is equivalent to {@code "description"} in Java code.
 * The value of inner element is calculated
 * before adding to the string using {@link String#valueOf(Object)}.
 * Note that all characters are used including whitespaces (' ', '\t', '\n', '\r').
 * So the value of the element<pre>
 * &lt;string&gt&lt;true&gt&lt;/string&gt;</pre>
 * is not equal to the value of the element<pre>
 * &lt;string&gt;
 *     &lt;true&gt;
 * &lt;/string&gt;</pre>
 * <p>The following attribute is supported:
 * <dl>
 * <dt>id
 * <dd>the identifier of the variable that is intended to store the result
 * </dl>
