/**
 *  This interface represents an input source for data.
 * <p> This interface allows an 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), a base URI, and/or a character stream.
 * <p> The exact definitions of a byte stream and a character stream are
 * binding dependent.
 * <p> The application is expected to provide objects that implement this
 * interface whenever such objects are needed. The application can either
 * provide its own objects that implement this interface, or it can use the
 * generic factory method <code>DOMImplementationLS.createLSInput()</code>
 * to create objects that implement this interface.
 * <p> The <code>LSParser</code> will use the <code>LSInput</code> object to
 * determine how to read data. The <code>LSParser</code> will look at the
 * different inputs specified in the <code>LSInput</code> in the following
 * order to know which one to read from, the first one that is not null and
 * not an empty string will be used:
 * <ol>
 * <li> <code>LSInput.characterStream</code>
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * <code>LSInput.byteStream</code>
 * </li>
 * <li> <code>LSInput.stringData</code>
 * </li>
 * <li>
 * <code>LSInput.systemId</code>
 * </li>
 * <li> <code>LSInput.publicId</code>
 * </li>
 * </ol>
 * <p> If all inputs are null, the <code>LSParser</code> will report a
 * <code>DOMError</code> with its <code>DOMError.type</code> set to
 * <code>"no-input-specified"</code> and its <code>DOMError.severity</code>
 * set to <code>DOMError.SEVERITY_FATAL_ERROR</code>.
 * <p> <code>LSInput</code> objects belong to the application. The DOM
 * implementation will never modify them (though it may make copies and
 * modify the copies, if necessary).
 * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-LS-20040407'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 3 Load
and Save Specification</a>.
