/**
 * Provides stream and URI specific transformation classes.
 *
 * <p>
 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource} class
 * provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.InputStream} input,
 * {@link java.io.Reader} input, and URL input in the form of strings. Even
 * if an input stream or reader is specified as the source,
 * {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource#setSystemId} should still
 * be called, so that the transformer can know from where it should resolve
 * relative URIs. The public identifier is always optional: if the application
 * writer includes one, it will be provided as part of the
 * {@link javax.xml.transform.SourceLocator} information.
 * <p>
 * The {@link javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult} class
 * provides methods for specifying {@link java.io.OutputStream},
 * {@link java.io.Writer}, or an output system ID, as the output of the
 * transformation result.
 * <p>
 * Normally streams should be used rather than readers or writers, for
 * both the Source and Result, since readers and writers already have the encoding
 * established to and from the internal Unicode format. However, there are times
 * when it is useful to write to a character stream, such as when using a
 * StringWriter in order to write to a String, or in the case of reading source
 * XML from a StringReader.
