   APIs for DFDL Parsing and Unparsing

   Assumed that applications will provide information not all at once, but will provide first:

   • Schema (which can be multiple schema files by way of include/import)
   • XML Catalog, or other means by which include/import are found.
   • Control settings/features for how they want the parser to behave.
   • Error handlers.
   • Root node and namespace
   • Externally defined variables

   After that, the application will want to use one of two primary patterns:

   • Random access: one input source, evaluate many different paths
   • Bulk Parsing: one path, many different input sources

   The output direction is symmetric.

   So the API provides a way to set the path specially, providing for schema-aware compilation of the XPath expression in the bulk processing case.
