    56   \class AbstractXmlPullProvider
       
    57   \brief The AbstractXmlPullProvider class provides a pull-based stream interface for the XPath Data Model.
       
    58   \reentrant
       
    59   \ingroup xml-tools
       
    60 
       
    61   AbstractXmlPullProvider allows a stream of items from the XPath Data Model -- essentially XML --
       
    62   to be iterated over. The subclass of AbstractXmlPullProvider provides the events, and the
       
    63   user calling next() and so on, consumes them. AbstractXmlPullProvider can be considered
       
    64   a forward-only, non-reversible iterator.
       
    65 
       
    66   Note that the content the events describes, are not necessarily a well-formed XML document, but
       
    67   rather an instance of the XPath Data model, to be specific. For instance, maybe a pull provider
       
    68   returns two atomic values, followed by an element tree, and at the end two document nodes.
       
    69 
       
    70   If you are subclassing AbstractXmlPullProvider, be careful to correctly implement
       
    71   the behaviors, as described for the individual members and events.

    77   \enum AbstractXmlPullProvider::Event
       
    78   \value StartOfInput The value AbstractXmlPullProvider::current() returns before the first call to next().
       
    79   \value AtomicValue an atomic value such as an \c xs:integer, \c xs:hexBinary, or \c xs:dateTime. Atomic values
       
    80          can only be top level items.
       
    81   \value StartDocument Signals the start of a document node. Note that a AbstractXmlPullProvider can provide
       
    82          a sequence of document nodes.
       
    83   \value EndDocument Signals the end of a document node. StartDocument and EndDocument are always balanced
       
    84          and always top-level events. For instance, StartDocument can never appear after any StartElement
       
    85          events that hasn't been balanced by the corresponding amount of EndElement events.
       
    86   \value StartElement Signals an element start tag.
       
    87   \value EndElement Signals the end of an element. StartElement and EndElement events are always balanced.
       
    88   \value Text Signals a text node. Adjacent text nodes cannot occur.
       
    89   \value ProcessingInstruction A processing instruction. Its name is returned from name(), and its value in stringValue().
       
    90   \value Comment a comment node. Its value can be retrieved with stingValue().
       
    91   \value Attribute Signals an attribute node. Attribute events can only appear after Namespace events, or
       
    92          if no such are sent, after the StartElement. In addition they must appear sequentially,
       
    93          and each name must be unique. The ordering of attribute events is undefined and insignificant.
       
    94   \value Namespace Signals a namespace binding. They occur very infrequently and are not needed for attributes
       
    95          and elements. Namespace events can only appear after the StartElement event. The
       
    96          ordering of namespace events is undefined and insignificant.
       
    97   \value EndOfInput When next() is called after the last event, EndOfInput is returned.
