/**
 * @class ACEXML_XMLReader
 *
 * @brief ACEXML_XMLReader
 *
 * XMLReader is the interface that an XML parser's SAX2 driver must
 * implement. This interface allows an application to set and query
 * features and properties in the parser, to register event handlers
 * for document processing, and to initiate a document parse.
 *
 * All SAX interfaces are assumed to be synchronous: the parse methods
 * must not return until parsing is complete, and readers must wait
 * for an event-handler callback to return before reporting the next
 * event.
