Package org.apache.axiom.om Description

Contains core interfaces of the Axiom API.

In particular, this package defines interfaces for the information items identified by the XML Information Set W3C Recommendation:

Section	Information item	Interface
2.1	Document information item	OMDocument
2.2	Element information item	OMElement
2.3	Attribute information item	OMAttribute
2.4	Processing instruction information item	OMProcessingInstruction
2.5	Unexpanded entity reference information item	Not supported

2.8	Document type declaration information item	OMDocType
2.9	Unparsed entity information item	Not supported
2.10	Notation information item	Not supported

The package also contains a set of super-interfaces that define common properties and operations shared by several information items: OMSerializable, OMNode and OMContainer.
