/**

 * Provides stream and URI specific transformation classes.

 *

 * <p>

 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource} class

 * provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.InputStream} input,

 * {@link java.io.Reader} input, and URL input in the form of strings. Even

 * if an input stream or reader is specified as the source,

 * {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource#setSystemId} should still

 * be called, so that the transformer can know from where it should resolve

 * relative URIs. The public identifier is always optional: if the application

 * writer includes one, it will be provided as part of the

 * {@link javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator} information.

 * <p>

 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult} class

 * provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.OutputStream},

 * {@link java.io.Writer}, or an output system ID, as the output of the

 * transformation result.

 * <p>

 * Normally streams should be used rather than readers or writers, for

 * both the Source and Result, since readers and writers already have the encoding

 * established to and from the internal Unicode format. However, there are times

 * when it is useful to write to a character stream, such as when using a

 * StringWriter in order to write to a String, or in the case of reading source

 * XML from a StringReader.
