33 * Walks the XML document structure.

35 * Implemented by the unmarshaller and called by the API-specific connectors.
36 *
37 * <h2>Event Call Sequence</h2>
38 *
39 * The {@link XmlVisitor} expects the event callbacks in the following order:
40 * <pre>
41 * CALL SEQUENCE := startDocument ELEMENT endDocument
42 * ELEMENT := startPrefixMapping ELEMENT endPrefixMapping
43 * | startElement BODY endElement
44 * BODY := text? (ELEMENT text?)*
45 * </pre>
46 * Note in particular that text events may not be called in a row;
47 * consecutive characters (even those separated by PIs and comments)
48 * must be reported as one event, unlike SAX.
49 *
50 * <p>
51 * All namespace URIs, local names, and prefixes of element and attribute
52 * names must be interned. qnames need not be interned.
53 *
54 *
55 * <h2>Typed PCDATA</h2>
56 * For efficiency, JAXB RI defines a few {@link CharSequence} implementations
57 * that can be used as a parameter to the {@link #text(CharSequence)} method.
58 * For example, see {@link Base64Data}.
59 *
60 * <h2>Error Handling</h2>
61 * The visitor may throw {@link SAXException} to abort the unmarshalling process
62 * in the middle.
