/**
* Walks the XML document structure.
*
* Implemented by the unmarshaller and called by the API-specific connectors.
*
* Event Call Sequence
*
* The {@link XmlVisitor} expects the event callbacks in the following order:
*
* CALL SEQUENCE := startDocument ELEMENT endDocument
* ELEMENT := startPrefixMapping ELEMENT endPrefixMapping
* | startElement BODY endElement
* BODY := text? (ELEMENT text?)*
*
* Note in particular that text events may not be called in a row;
* consecutive characters (even those separated by PIs and comments)
* must be reported as one event, unlike SAX.
*
*
* All namespace URIs, local names, and prefixes of element and attribute
* names must be interned. qnames need not be interned.
*
*
*
Typed PCDATA
* For efficiency, JAXB RI defines a few {@link CharSequence} implementations
* that can be used as a parameter to the {@link #text(CharSequence)} method.
* For example, see {@link Base64Data}.
*
* Error Handling
* The visitor may throw {@link SAXException} to abort the unmarshalling process
* in the middle.
