/**
* An interface to an object that is able to build, or augment, a DOM tree
* from various input sources.
* <p> <code>LSParser</code> provides an API for parsing XML and building the
* corresponding DOM document structure. A <code>LSParser</code> instance
* can be obtained by invoking the
* <code>DOMImplementationLS.createLSParser()</code> method.
* <p> As specified in [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407'>DOM Level 3 Core</a>]
* , when a document is first made available via the LSParser:
* <ul>
* <li> there will
* never be two adjacent nodes of type NODE_TEXT, and there will never be
* empty text nodes.
* </li>
* <li> it is expected that the <code>value</code> and
* <code>nodeValue</code> attributes of an <code>Attr</code> node initially
* return the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204#AVNormalize'>XML 1.0
* normalized value</a>. However, if the parameters "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-validate-if-schema'>
* validate-if-schema</a>" and "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-datatype-normalization'>
* datatype-normalization</a>" are set to <code>true</code>, depending on the attribute normalization
* used, the attribute values may differ from the ones obtained by the XML
* 1.0 attribute normalization. If the parameters "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-datatype-normalization'>
* datatype-normalization</a>" is set to <code>false</code>, the XML 1.0 attribute normalization is
* guaranteed to occur, and if the attributes list does not contain
* namespace declarations, the <code>attributes</code> attribute on
* <code>Element</code> node represents the property <b>[attributes]</b> defined in [<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-infoset-20040204/'>XML Information Set</a>]
* .
* </li>
* </ul>
* <p> Asynchronous <code>LSParser</code> objects are expected to also
* implement the <code>events::EventTarget</code> interface so that event
* listeners can be registered on asynchronous <code>LSParser</code>
* objects.
* <p> Events supported by asynchronous <code>LSParser</code> objects are:
* <dl>
* <dt>load</dt>
* <dd>
* The <code>LSParser</code> finishes to load the document. See also the
* definition of the <code>LSLoadEvent</code> interface. </dd>
* <dt>progress</dt>
* <dd> The
* <code>LSParser</code> signals progress as data is parsed. This
* specification does not attempt to define exactly when progress events
* should be dispatched. That is intentionally left as
* implementation-dependent. Here is one example of how an application might
* dispatch progress events: Once the parser starts receiving data, a
* progress event is dispatched to indicate that the parsing starts. From
* there on, a progress event is dispatched for every 4096 bytes of data
* that is received and processed. This is only one example, though, and
* implementations can choose to dispatch progress events at any time while
* parsing, or not dispatch them at all. See also the definition of the
* <code>LSProgressEvent</code> interface. </dd>
* </dl>
* <p ><b>Note:</b> All events defined in this specification use the
* namespace URI <code>"http://www.w3.org/2002/DOMLS"</code>.
* <p> While parsing an input source, errors are reported to the application
* through the error handler (<code>LSParser.domConfig</code>'s "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-error-handler'>
* error-handler</a>" parameter). This specification does in no way try to define all possible
* errors that can occur while parsing XML, or any other markup, but some
* common error cases are defined. The types (<code>DOMError.type</code>) of
* errors and warnings defined by this specification are:
* <dl>
* <dt>
* <code>"check-character-normalization-failure" [error]</code> </dt>
* <dd> Raised if
* the parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-check-character-normalization'>
* check-character-normalization</a>" is set to true and a string is encountered that fails normalization
* checking. </dd>
* <dt><code>"doctype-not-allowed" [fatal]</code></dt>
* <dd> Raised if the
* configuration parameter "disallow-doctype" is set to <code>true</code>
* and a doctype is encountered. </dd>
* <dt><code>"no-input-specified" [fatal]</code></dt>
* <dd>
* Raised when loading a document and no input is specified in the
* <code>LSInput</code> object. </dd>
* <dt>
* <code>"pi-base-uri-not-preserved" [warning]</code></dt>
* <dd> Raised if a processing
* instruction is encountered in a location where the base URI of the
* processing instruction can not be preserved. One example of a case where
* this warning will be raised is if the configuration parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-entities'>
* entities</a>" is set to <code>false</code> and the following XML file is parsed:
* <pre>
* <!DOCTYPE root [ <!ENTITY e SYSTEM 'subdir/myentity.ent' ]>
* <root> &e; </root></pre>
* And <code>subdir/myentity.ent</code>
* contains:
* <pre><one> <two/> </one> <?pi 3.14159?>
* <more/></pre>
* </dd>
* <dt><code>"unbound-prefix-in-entity" [warning]</code></dt>
* <dd> An
* implementation dependent warning that may be raised if the configuration
* parameter "<a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Core/core.html#parameter-namespaces'>
* namespaces</a>" is set to <code>true</code> and an unbound namespace prefix is
* encountered in an entity's replacement text. Raising this warning is not
* enforced since some existing parsers may not recognize unbound namespace
* prefixes in the replacement text of entities. </dd>
* <dt>
* <code>"unknown-character-denormalization" [fatal]</code></dt>
* <dd> Raised if the
* configuration parameter "ignore-unknown-character-denormalizations" is
* set to <code>false</code> and a character is encountered for which the
* processor cannot determine the normalization properties. </dd>
* <dt>
* <code>"unsupported-encoding" [fatal]</code></dt>
* <dd> Raised if an unsupported
* encoding is encountered. </dd>
* <dt><code>"unsupported-media-type" [fatal]</code></dt>
* <dd>
* Raised if the configuration parameter "supported-media-types-only" is set
* to <code>true</code> and an unsupported media type is encountered. </dd>
* </dl>
* <p> In addition to raising the defined errors and warnings, implementations
* are expected to raise implementation specific errors and warnings for any
* other error and warning cases such as IO errors (file not found,
* permission denied,...), XML well-formedness errors, and so on.
* <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load
and Save Specification</a>.
