/// implement. This interface allows an application to set and
/// query features and properties in the parser, to register event handlers
/// for document processing, and to initiate a document parse.
/// All SAX interfaces are assumed to be synchronous: the parse methods must not
/// return until parsing is complete, and readers
/// must wait for an event-handler callback to return before reporting the next event.
