/**
* {@link XMLStreamReader} extended for reading binary data.
*
*
* Some producer of infoset (in particular, such as FastInfoset,
* XOP decoder), uses a native format that enables efficient
* treatment of binary data. For ordinary infoset consumer
* (that just uses {@link XMLStreamReader}, those binary data
* will just look like base64-encoded string, but this interface
* allows consumers of such infoset to access this raw binary data.
* Such infoset producer may choose to implement this additoinal
* interface, to expose this functionality.
*
*
* Consumers that are capable of using this interface can query
* {@link XMLStreamReader} if it supports this by simply downcasting
* it to this interface like this:
*
*
* XMLStreamReader reader = ...;
* if( reader instanceof XMLStreamReaderEx ) {
* // this reader supports binary data exchange
* ...
* } else {
* // noop
* ...
* }
*
*
*
* Also note that it is also allowed for the infoset producer
* to implement this interface in such a way that {@link #getPCDATA()}
* always delegate to {@link #getText()}, although it's not desirable.
*
*
* This interface is a private contract between such producers
* and consumers to allow them to exchange binary data without
* converting it to base64.
