/**
* <p>
* Defines interfaces and classes for the Streaming API for XML (StAX).
*
* <p>
* 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.
*
* <p>
* The cursor API defines two interfaces: {@link XMLStreamReader}
* and {@link XMLStreamWriter}, while the event iterator API defines:
* {@link XMLEventReader} and {@link XMLEventWriter}.
*
* <p>
* StAX supports plugability with {@link XMLInputFactory} and
* {@link XMLOutputFactory} that define how an implementation is
* located through a process as described in the {@link newFactory}
* method.
*
*
* @since 1.6
