 <div class="block">Creates geodetic objects from codes defined by an authority.
  An <cite>authority</cite> is an organization that maintains definitions of authority codes.
  An <cite>authority code</cite> is a compact string defined by an authority to reference a particular spatial reference object.
  A frequently used set of authority codes is the <a href="https://epsg.org/">EPSG geodetic dataset</a>,
  a database of coordinate systems and other spatial referencing objects where each object has a code number ID.

  <div class="note"><b>Example:</b>
  the EPSG code for a <cite>World Geodetic System 1984</cite> (WGS84) coordinate reference system
  with latitude and longitude axes is <code>"4326"</code>.</div>

  <p>This class defines a default implementation for most methods defined in the <a href="http://www.geoapi.org/3.0/javadoc/org.opengis.geoapi/org/opengis/referencing/datum/DatumAuthorityFactory.html" title="class or interface in org.opengis.referencing.datum" class="external-link"><code>DatumAuthorityFactory</code></a>,

However, those interfaces do not appear
  in the <code>implements</code> clause of this class declaration. This is up to subclasses to decide which interfaces
  they declare to implement.</p>

  <p>The default implementation for all <code>createFoo(String)</code> methods ultimately invokes
  <a href="#createObject(java.lang.String)"><code>createObject(String)</code></a>, which may be the only method that a subclass need to override.
  However, other methods may be overridden as well for better performances.</p></div>

 <div class="block">Returns all namespaces recognized by this factory. Those namespaces can appear before codes in

  Namespaces are case-insensitive.

  <p>The namespaces are closely related to the <a href="#getAuthority()">authority</a>. Often the namespace is
  the authority <a href="../../metadata/iso/citation/DefaultCitation.html#getIdentifiers()">identifier</a>,
  but not always.</p>

    <li>The <a href="sql/EPSGFactory.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.referencing.factory.sql"><code>EPSGFactory</code></a> authority identifier is <code>"EPSG"</code>
        and its <code>getCodeSpaces()</code> method returns a set containing <code>"EPSG"</code>. So in this example,
        authority and namespace match. That namespace value means that <code>EPSGFactory.createFoo(String)</code>
        methods accept both <code>"EPSG:4326"</code> (case-insensitive) and <code>"4326"</code> codes as argument.</li>

    <li>The <a href="sql/EPSGDataAccess.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.referencing.factory.sql"><code>EPSGDataAccess</code></a> authority identifier is <code>"EPSG"</code>
        but its <code>getCodeSpaces()</code> method returns an empty set. This means that despite the EPSG authority,
        <code>EPSGDataAccess.createFoo(String)</code> methods accept only codes like <code>"4326"</code> without
        <code>"EPSG:"</code> prefix (the reason is that <code>EPSGDataAccess</code> is not expected to be used directly).</li>

    <li>The <a href="CommonAuthorityFactory.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.referencing.factory"><code>CommonAuthorityFactory</code></a> authority identifiers are ISO 19128 and OGC 06-042 (the WMS specification)

        While ISO 19128 is defined as the first authority, the namespace is actually defined by OGC.</li>

  <h4>Note for subclasses</h4>
  In default <code>GeodeticAuthorityFactory</code> implementation, all <code>createFoo(String)</code> methods ultimately
  delegate to this <code>createObject(String)</code> method and verify if the created object is of the desired type.
