/**
* This interface represents an input source for data.
* <p> This interface allows an application to encapsulate information about
* an input source in a single object, which may include a public
* identifier, a system identifier, a byte stream (possibly with a specified
* encoding), a base URI, and/or a character stream.
* <p> The exact definitions of a byte stream and a character stream are
* binding dependent.
* <p> The application is expected to provide objects that implement this
* interface whenever such objects are needed. The application can either
* provide its own objects that implement this interface, or it can use the
* generic factory method <code>DOMImplementationLS.createLSInput()</code>
* to create objects that implement this interface.
* <p> The <code>LSParser</code> will use the <code>LSInput</code> object to
* determine how to read data. The <code>LSParser</code> will look at the
* different inputs specified in the <code>LSInput</code> in the following
* order to know which one to read from, the first one that is not null and
* not an empty string will be used:
* <ol>
* <li> <code>LSInput.characterStream</code>
* </li>
* <li>
* <code>LSInput.byteStream</code>
* </li>
* <li> <code>LSInput.stringData</code>
* </li>
* <li>
* <code>LSInput.systemId</code>
* </li>
* <li> <code>LSInput.publicId</code>
* </li>
* </ol>
* <p> If all inputs are null, the <code>LSParser</code> will report a
* <code>DOMError</code> with its <code>DOMError.type</code> set to
* <code>"no-input-specified"</code> and its <code>DOMError.severity</code>
* set to <code>DOMError.SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR</code>.
* <p> <code>LSInput</code> objects belong to the application. The DOM
* implementation will never modify them (though it may make copies and
* modify the copies, if necessary).
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load
and Save Specification</a>.
