Java in a Nutshell, 5th Edition [Electronic resources]

This class is a Source implementation that reads the textual format of an XML document from a file, byte stream, or character stream. Because XML documents declare their own encoding, it is preferable to create a StreamSource object from an InputStream instead of from a Reader, so that the XML processor can correctly handle the declared encoding. When creating a StreamSource from a byte stream or character stream, you should provide the "system id" (i.e. the filename or URL) by using one of the two-argument constructors or by caling setSystemId( ). The system id is required if the XML file to be processed includes relative URLs to be resolved.
