/**
 * Represents a position between two logical tokens in an XML document.
 * 

* The tokens themselves are not exposed as objects, but their type and properties * are discoverable through methods on the cursor. In particular, the general * category of token is represented by a {@link XmlCursor.TokenType TokenType}. *

* You use an XmlCursor instance to navigate through and manipulate an XML * instance document. * Once you obtain an XML document, you can create a cursor to represent * a specific place in the XML. Because you can use a cursor with or * without a schema corresponding to the XML, cursors are an ideal * way to handle XML without a schema. You can create a new cursor by * calling the {@link XmlTokenSource#newCursor() newCursor} method * exposed by an object representing * the XML, whether it was parsed into a strong type compiled from * schema or an {@link XmlObject XmlObject} (as in the no-schema case). *

* With an XmlCursor, you can also: * *

    *
  • Execute XQuery and XPath expressions against the XML with the * execQuery and selectPath methods.
  • * *
  • Edit and reshape the document by inserting, moving, copying, and removing * XML.
  • * *
  • Insert bookmarks that "stick" to the XML at the cursor's * position even if the cursor or XML moves.
  • * *
  • Get and set values for containers (elements and whole documents), * attributes, processing instructions, and comments.
  • *
*

* A cursor moves through XML by moving past tokens. A * token represents a category of XML markup, such as the start of an element, * its end, an attribute, comment, and so on. XmlCursor methods such as * toNextToken, toNextSibling, toParent, and so on move the cursor * among tokens. Each token's category is of a particular type, represented * by one of the nine types defined by the {@link XmlCursor.TokenType TokenType} class. *

* When you get a new cursor for a whole instance document, the cursor is * intially located before the STARTDOC token. This token, which has no analogy * in the XML specification, is present in this logical model of XML * so that you may distinguish between the document as a whole * and the content of the document. Terminating the document is an ENDDOC * token. This token is also not part of the XML specification. A cursor * located immediately before this token is at the very end of the document. * It is not possible to position the cursor after the ENDDOC token. * Thus, the STARTDOC and ENDDOC tokens are effectively "bookends" for the content of * the document. *

* For example, for the following XML, if you were the navigate a cursor * through the XML document using toNextToken(), the list of token types that * follows represents the token sequence you would encounter. * *

 * <sample x='y'>
 *     <value>foo</value>
 * </sample>
 * 
*

* STARTDOC
* START (sample)
* ATTR (x='y')
* TEXT ("\n ")
* START (value)
* TEXT ("foo")
* END (value)
* TEXT ("\n")
* END (sample)
* ENDDOC *

* When there are no more tokens available, hasNextToken() returns * false and toNextToken() returns the special token type NONE and does not move * the cursor. * *

* The {@link #currentTokenType() currentTokenType()} method * will return the type of the token that is immediately after the cursor. * You can also use a number of convenience methods that test for a particular * token type. These include the methods isStart(), * isStartdoc(), isText(), isAttr(), and so on. Each returns a boolean * value indicating whether the token that follows the cursor is the type * in question. * *

* A few other methods determine whether the token is of a kind that may include * multiple token types. The isAnyAttr() method, for example, returns true if * the token immediately following the cursor is any kind of attribute, * including those of the ATTR token type and xmlns attributes. * *

* Legitimate sequences of tokens for an XML document are described * by the following Backus-Naur Form (BNF):
* *

 * <doc> ::= STARTDOC <attributes> <content> ENDDOC
 * <element> ::= START <attributes> <content> END
 * <attributes> ::= ( ATTR | NAMESPACE ) *
 * <content> ::= ( COMMENT | PROCINST | TEXT | <element> ) *
 * 
*

* Note that a legitimate sequence is STARTDOC ENDDOC, the result of * creating a brand new instance of an empty document.
