/** @brief Reads XML as a Stream of XML Nodes.

     This class operates on an input stream from which XML character data
     is read and parsed.

     The parser will only parse the XML document as far as the user read
     data from it. To read the current element (Node) the method get() can
     be used. To parse and read the next element the method next() can be
     used. Only when next() or any corresponding method or operator is
     called, the next chunk of XML input data is parsed.

     To parse a XML-document, a XmlReader constructed with an input stream
     from which the XML document is to be read.

     The current XML element (Node) can be read using get(). Every call to
     next() will parse the next element, position the cursor to the next
     element and return the parsed element. The returned element is of type
     Node, which is the super-class for all XML element classes. The class
     Node has a method type() which returns the type of the read element.
     Depending on the type the generic Node object may be cast to the more
     concrete element object. For example a Node object with a node type of
     Node::StartElement can be cast to StartElement.

     Parsing using next() will continue until the end of the document is
     reached which will resultin a EndDocument element to be returned by
     next() and get().

     This class also provides the method current() to obtain an iterator
     which basically works the same way like using using get() and next()
     directly. The iterator can be set to the next element by using the
     ++ operator. The current element can be accessed by dereferencing
     the iterator.
