/**
* This class is used as a structure to pass text contained in the underlying
* character buffer of the scanner. The offset and length fields allow the
* buffer to be re-used without creating new character arrays.
*
* Note: Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
* should consider the contents read-only and not make any modifications
* to the contents of the buffer. The method receiving this structure
* should also not modify the offset and length if this structure (or
* the values of this structure) are passed to another method.
*
* Note: Methods that are passed an XMLString structure
* are required to copy the information out of the buffer if it is to be
* saved for use beyond the scope of the method. The contents of the
* structure are volatile and the contents of the character buffer cannot
* be assured once the method that is passed this structure returns.
* Therefore, methods passed this structure should not save any reference
* to the structure or the character array contained in the structure.
