/**
 * {@link org.apache.sis.storage.DataStore} implementation for XML files that can be (un)marshalled by the
 * {@link org.apache.sis.xml.XML} class. The kinds of objects recognized by this package is listed in the
 * {@link org.apache.sis.storage.xml.Store} class.
 *
 * <p>This base package is designed for use with JAXB, which allows this package to be very small since most of the
 * XML (un)marshalling rules are specified in external classes designed for use with JAXB. However, some classes can
 * also be used in other contexts. In particular, the {@code org.apache.sis.storage.xml.stream} package in the
 * {@code org.apache.sis.storage.xml} module extends this package with classes designed for use with StAX cursor API.</p>
 *
 * <h2>Design note</h2>
 * This package is conceptually part of the {@code org.apache.sis.storage.xml} module, but is declared in this
 * base {@code org.apache.sis.storage} module because it provides important services at practically no cost.
 * The actual implementation is provided by the JAXB annotations present in metadata and referencing modules.
