 * The Catalog class represents an entity Catalog as defined by

 * <a

 * href="https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/14809/xml-catalogs.html">

 * XML Catalogs, OASIS Standard V1.1, 7 October 2005</a>.

 * <p>

 * A catalog is an XML file that contains a root {@code catalog} entry with a list

 * of catalog entries. The entries can also be grouped with a {@code group} entry.

 * The catalog and group entries may specify {@code prefer} and {@code xml:base}

 * attributes that set preference of public or system type of entries and base URI

 * to resolve relative URIs.

 *

 * <p>

 * A catalog can be used in two situations:

 * <ul>

 * <li>Locate the external resources with a public or system identifier;

 * </li>

 * </li>

 * </ul>

 * <p>

 * For case 1, the standard defines 6 External Identifier Entries:<br>

 * {@code public, system, rewriteSystem, systemSuffix, delegatePublic, and

 * delegateSystem}.

 * <p>

 * While for case 2, it defines 4 URI Entries:<br>

 * {@code uri, rewriteURI, uriSuffix and delegateURI}.

 * <p>

 * In addition to the above entry types, a catalog may define nextCatalog

 * entries to add additional catalog entry files.

 * <p>
