  * Basic interface for SAX (Simple API for XML) parsers.

  *
  * All SAX parsers must also implement a zero-argument constructor
  * (though other constructors are also allowed).

  * may reuse a parser object (possibly with a different input source)
  * once the first parse has completed successfully, but it may not
  * invoke the parse() methods recursively within a parse.
