 <div class="block">Static methods for creating, parsing and formatting <a href="AbstractName.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.util.iso">generic names</a>.
  This convenience class does not add new functionality compared to <a href="DefaultNameFactory.html" title="class in org.apache.sis.util.iso"><code>DefaultNameFactory</code></a>,
  but makes some tasks easier by avoiding the need to find a factory, and by creating name and
  their namespace in a single step.

  <h2>Relationship with Java Content Repository (JCR) names</h2>
  In the Java standard <a href="https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/16/docs/api/java.xml/javax/xml/namespace/QName.html" title="class or interface in javax.xml.namespace" class="external-link"><code>QName</code></a> class and in the Java Content Repository (JCR) specification,
  a name is an ordered pair of (<code>namespace</code>, <code>localPart</code>) strings. A JCR name can take two lexical forms:
  <cite>expanded form</cite> and <cite>qualified form</cite>. Those names are mapped to generic names as below:

  <blockquote><table class="sis" style="white-space: nowrap">
    <caption>Equivalence between JCR name and <code>GenericName</code></caption>
    <tr>
      <th>JCR name</th>
      <th class="sep" colspan="2">GeoAPI equivalence</th>
    </tr><tr>
      <td><code>ExpandedName ::= '{' Namespace '}' LocalPart</code></td>
      <td class="sep"><code>GenericName.<a href="AbstractName.html#scope()">scope()</a>.name().toString()</code></td>
      <td>= JCR <code>Namespace</code></td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td></td>
      <td class="sep"><code>GenericName.<a href="AbstractName.html#toString()">toString()</a></code></td>
      <td>= JCR <code>LocalPart</code></td>
    </tr><tr>
      <td class="hsep"><code>QualifiedName ::= [Prefix ':'] LocalPart</code></td>
      <td class="hsep sep"><code>ScopedName.<a href="AbstractName.html#scope()">scope()</a></code></td>
      <td class="hsep">= <a href="DefaultNameSpace.html#isGlobal()">global namespace</a></td>
