* Add an event to the output stream
* Adding a START_ELEMENT will open a new namespace scope that

*
*
* Required and optional fields for events added to the writer
*
*
*
*
*
* Event Type
* Required Fields
* Optional Fields
* Required Behavior
*
*
* START_ELEMENT
* QName name
* namespaces , attributes
* A START_ELEMENT will be written by writing the name,
* namespaces, and attributes of the event in XML 1.0 valid
* syntax for START_ELEMENTs.
* The name is written by looking up the prefix for
* the namespace uri. The writer can be configured to
* respect prefixes of QNames. If the writer is respecting
* prefixes it must use the prefix set on the QName. The
* default behavior is to lookup the value for the prefix
* on the EventWriter's internal namespace context.
* Each attribute (if any)
* is written using the behavior specified in the attribute
* section of this table. Each namespace (if any) is written
* using the behavior specified in the namespace section of this
* table.
*
*
*
* END_ELEMENT
* Qname name
* None
* A well formed END_ELEMENT tag is written.
* The name is written by looking up the prefix for
* the namespace uri. The writer can be configured to
* respect prefixes of QNames. If the writer is respecting
* prefixes it must use the prefix set on the QName. The
* default behavior is to lookup the value for the prefix
* on the EventWriter's internal namespace context.
* If the END_ELEMENT name does not match the START_ELEMENT
* name an XMLStreamException is thrown.
*
*
*
* ATTRIBUTE
* QName name , String value
* QName type
* An attribute is written using the same algorithm
* to find the lexical form as used in START_ELEMENT.
* The default is to use double quotes to wrap attribute
* values and to escape any double quotes found in the
* value. The type value is ignored.
*
*
*
* NAMESPACE
* String prefix, String namespaceURI,
* boolean isDefaultNamespaceDeclaration
*
* None
* A namespace declaration is written. If the
* namespace is a default namespace declaration
* (isDefault is true) then xmlns="$namespaceURI"
* is written and the prefix is optional. If
* isDefault is false, the prefix must be declared
* and the writer must prepend xmlns to the prefix
* and write out a standard prefix declaration.
*
*
*
* PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION
* None
* String target, String data
* The data does not need to be present and may be
* null. Target is required and many not be null.
* The writer
* will write data section
* directly after the target,
* enclosed in appropriate XML 1.0 syntax
*
*
*
* COMMENT
* None
* String comment
* If the comment is present (not null) it is written, otherwise an
* an empty comment is written
*
*
*
* START_DOCUMENT
* None
* String encoding , boolean standalone, String version
* A START_DOCUMENT event is not required to be written to the
* stream. If present the attributes are written inside
* the appropriate XML declaration syntax
*
*
*
* END_DOCUMENT
* None
* None
* Nothing is written to the output
*
*
* DTD
* String DocumentTypeDefinition
* None
* The DocumentTypeDefinition is written to the output
*
