/**
 * Defines the API to obtain DOM Document instances from an XML
 * document. Using this class, an application programmer can obtain a
 * {@link Document} from XML.<p>
 *
 * An instance of this class can be obtained from the
 * {@link DocumentBuilderFactory#newDocumentBuilder()} method. Once
 * an instance of this class is obtained, XML can be parsed from a
 * variety of input sources. These input sources are InputStreams,
 * Files, URLs, and SAX InputSources.<p>
 *
 * Note that this class reuses several classes from the SAX API. This
 * does not require that the implementor of the underlying DOM
 * implementation use a SAX parser to parse XML document into a
 * <code>Document</code>. It merely requires that the implementation
 * communicate with the application using these existing APIs.
