module sax::input_source

# A single input source for an XML entity.
#
# This class allows a SAX application to encapsulate information
# about an input source in a single object, which may include
# a public identifier, a system identifier and a stream (possibly
# with a specified encoding).
#
# There are two places that the application can deliver an
# input source to the parser: as the argument to the `XMLReader.parse`
# method, or as the return value of the `EntityResolver.resolve_entity`
# method.
#
# The SAX parser will use the `InputSource` object to determine how to read XML
# input. If there is a byte stream, the parser will use that byte stream, using
# the encoding specified in the InputSource or else (if no encoding is
# specified) autodetecting the character encoding using an algorithm
# such as the one in the XML specification. If no byte stream is available, the
# parser will attempt to open a URI connection to the resource identified by
# the system identifier.
#
# An InputSource object belongs to the application: the SAX parser
# shall never modify it in any way (it may modify a copy if
# necessary). However, standard processing of the stream is to close it on as
# part of end-of-parse cleanup, so applications should not attempt to re-use
# such streams after they have been handed to a parser.
#
# Note: The original documentation comes, in part,
# from [SAX 2.0](http://www.saxproject.org).

	# Applications may use `public_id=` to include a public identifier as well,

	# be a relative URL).
