    - #### public static DOMBuilder newInstance()

    - #### public static DOMBuilder newInstance(boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware)

    - #### public static Document parse(Reader reader)

      Creates a DocumentBuilder and uses it to parse the XML text read from the given reader. A non-validating, namespace aware parser which does not allow DOCTYPE declarations is used.

      throws:
        SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      throws:
        IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      throws:
        ParserConfigurationException if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.
      Parameters:
        `reader` - the reader to read the XML text from
      Returns:
        the root node of the parsed tree of Nodes
      See Also:
        parse(Reader, boolean, boolean)

    - #### public static Document parse(Reader reader, boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware)

      Creates a DocumentBuilder and uses it to parse the XML text read from the given reader, allowing parser validation and namespace awareness to be controlled. Documents are not allowed to contain DOCYTYPE declarations.

      throws:
        SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      throws:
        IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      throws:
        ParserConfigurationException if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.
      Parameters:
        `reader` - the reader to read the XML text from
        `validating` - whether to validate the XML
        `namespaceAware` - whether the parser should be namespace aware
      Returns:
        the root node of the parsed tree of Nodes

    - #### public static Document parse(Reader reader, boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware, boolean allowDocTypeDeclaration)

      Creates a DocumentBuilder and uses it to parse the XML text read from the given reader, allowing parser validation, namespace awareness and permission of DOCTYPE declarations to be controlled.

      throws:
        SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      throws:
        IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      throws:
        ParserConfigurationException if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.
      Parameters:
        `reader` - the reader to read the XML text from
        `validating` - whether to validate the XML
        `namespaceAware` - whether the parser should be namespace aware
        `allowDocTypeDeclaration` - whether the parser should allow DOCTYPE declarations
      Returns:
        the root node of the parsed tree of Nodes

    - #### public Document parseText(String text)

      A helper method to parse the given text as XML.

      throws:
        SAXException Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      throws:
        IOException An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      throws:
        ParserConfigurationException if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.
      Parameters:
        `text` - the XML text to parse
      Returns:
        the root node of the parsed tree of Nodes
      See Also:
        parse(Reader)
