 * </blockquote>
 *
 * <p>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, a byte stream (possibly
 * with a specified encoding), and/or a character stream.</p>
 *
 * <p>There are two places that the application can deliver an
 * input source to the parser: as the argument to the Parser.parse
 * method, or as the return value of the EntityResolver.resolveEntity
 * method.</p>
 *
 * <p>The SAX parser will use the InputSource object to determine how
 * to read XML input.  If there is a character stream available, the
 * parser will read that stream directly, disregarding any text
 * encoding declaration found in that stream.
 * If there is no character stream, but 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 neither a character
 * stream nor a
 * byte stream is available, the parser will attempt to open a URI
 * connection to the resource identified by the system
 * identifier.</p>
 *
 * <p>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 both byte and
 * character streams is to close them 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.  </p>
