/**
 *
 * A read-only content provider which extracts data out of an XML document.
 *
 * <p>A XPath-like selection pattern is used to select some nodes in the XML document. Each such
 * node will create a row in the {@link Cursor} result.</p>
 *
 * Each row is then populated with columns that are also defined as XPath-like projections. These
 * projections fetch attributes values or text in the matching row node or its children.
 *
 * <p>To add this provider in your application, you should add its declaration to your application
 * manifest:
 * <pre class="prettyprint">
 * &lt;provider android:name="XmlDocumentProvider" android:authorities="xmldocument" /&gt;
 * </pre>
 * </p>
 *
 * <h2>Node selection syntax</h2>
 * The node selection syntax is made of the concatenation of an arbitrary number (at least one) of
 * <code>/node_name</code> node selection patterns.
 *
 * <p>The <code>/root/child1/child2</code> pattern will for instance match all nodes named
 * <code>child2</code> which are children of a node named <code>child1</code> which are themselves
 * children of a root node named <code>root</code>.</p>
 *
 * Any <code>/</code> separator in the previous expression can be replaced by a <code>//</code>
 * separator instead, which indicated a <i>descendant</i> instead of a child.
 *
 * <p>The <code>//node1//node2</code> pattern will for instance match all nodes named
 * <code>node2</code> which are descendant of a node named <code>node1</code> located anywhere in
 * the document hierarchy.</p>
 *
 * Node names can contain namespaces in the form <code>namespace:node</code>.
 *
 * <h2>Projection syntax</h2>
 * For every selected node, the projection will then extract actual data from this node and its
 * descendant.
 *
 * <p>Use a syntax similar to the selection syntax described above to select the text associated
 * with a child of the selected node. The implicit root of this projection pattern is the selected
 * node. <code>/</code> will hence refer to the text of the selected node, while
 * <code>/child1</code> will fetch the text of its child named <code>child1</code> and
 * <code>//child1</code> will match any <i>descendant</i> named <code>child1</code>. If several
 * nodes match the projection pattern, their texts are appended as a result.</p>
 *
 * A projection can also fetch any node attribute by appending a <code>@attribute_name</code>
 * pattern to the previously described syntax. <code>//child1@price</code> will for instance match
 * the attribute <code>price</code> of any <code>child1</code> descendant.
 *
 * <p>If a projection does not match any node/attribute, its associated value will be an empty
 * string.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Example</h2>
 * Using the following XML document:
 * <pre class="prettyprint">
 * &lt;library&gt;
 *   &lt;book id="EH94"&gt;
 *     &lt;title&gt;The Old Man and the Sea&lt;/title&gt;
 *     &lt;author&gt;Ernest Hemingway&lt;/author&gt;
 *   &lt;/book&gt;
 *   &lt;book id="XX10"&gt;
 *     &lt;title&gt;The Arabian Nights: Tales of 1,001 Nights&lt;/title&gt;
 *   &lt;/book&gt;
 *   &lt;no-id&gt;
 *     &lt;book&gt;
 *       &lt;title&gt;Animal Farm&lt;/title&gt;
 *       &lt;author&gt;George Orwell&lt;/author&gt;
 *     &lt;/book&gt;
 *   &lt;/no-id&gt;
 * &lt;/library&gt;
 * </pre>
 * A selection pattern of <code>/library//book</code> will match the three book entries (while
 * <code>/library/book</code> will only match the first two ones).
 *
 * <p>Defining the projections as <code>/title</code>, <code>/author</code> and <code>@id</code>
 * will retrieve the associated data. Note that the author of the second book as well as the id of
 * the third are empty strings.
