/**
 * <p>
 * A specialized hierarchical configuration class that is able to parse XML documents.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The parsed document will be stored keeping its structure. The class also tries to preserve as much information from
 * the loaded XML document as possible, including comments and processing instructions. These will be contained in
 * documents created by the {@code save()} methods, too.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Like other file based configuration classes this class maintains the name and path to the loaded configuration file.
 * These properties can be altered using several setter methods, but they are not modified by {@code save()} and
 * {@code load()} methods. If XML documents contain relative paths to other documents (for example to a DTD), these references
 * are resolved based on the path set for this configuration.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * By inheriting from {@link AbstractConfiguration} this class provides some extended functionality, for example interpolation
 * of property values. Like in {@link PropertiesConfiguration} property values can contain delimiter characters (the
 * comma ',' per default) and are then split into multiple values. This works for XML attributes and text content of
 * elements as well. The delimiter can be escaped by a backslash. As an example consider the following XML fragment:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;config&gt;
 *   &lt;array&gt;10,20,30,40&lt;/array&gt;
 *   &lt;scalar&gt;3\,1415&lt;/scalar&gt;
 *   &lt;cite text="To be or not to be\, this is the question!"/&gt;
 * &lt;/config&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Here the content of the {@code array} element will be split at the commas, so the {@code array} key will be assigned
 * 4 values. In the {@code scalar} property and the {@code text} attribute of the {@code cite} element the comma is
 * escaped, so that no splitting is performed.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The configuration API allows setting multiple values for a single attribute, for example something like the following is
 * legal (assuming that the default expression engine is used):
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * XMLConfiguration config = new XMLConfiguration();
 * config.addProperty(&quot;test.dir[@name]&quot;, &quot;C:\\Temp\\&quot;);
 * config.addProperty(&quot;test.dir[@name]&quot;, &quot;D:\\Data\\&quot;);
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * However, in XML such a constellation is not supported; an attribute can appear only once for a single element.
 * Therefore, an attempt to save a configuration which violates this condition will throw an exception.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Like other {@code Configuration} implementations, {@code XMLConfiguration} uses a {@link ListDelimiterHandler} object
 * for controlling list split operations. Per default, a list delimiter handler object is set which disables this
 * feature. XML has a built-in support for complex structures including list properties; therefore, list splitting is
 * not that relevant for this configuration type. Nevertheless, by setting an alternative {@code ListDelimiterHandler}
 * implementation, this feature can be enabled. It works as for any other concrete {@code Configuration} implementation.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Whitespace in the content of XML documents is trimmed per default. In most cases this is desired. However, sometimes
 * whitespace is indeed important and should be treated as part of the value of a property as in the following example:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *   &lt;indent&gt;    &lt;/indent&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Per default the spaces in the {@code indent} element will be trimmed resulting in an empty element. To tell
 * {@code XMLConfiguration} that spaces are relevant the {@code xml:space} attribute can be used, which is defined in
 * the <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-white-space">XML specification</a>. This will look as follows:
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 *   &lt;indent <strong>xml:space=&quot;preserve&quot;</strong>&gt;    &lt;/indent&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * The value of the {@code indent} property will now contain the spaces.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * {@code XMLConfiguration} implements the {@link FileBasedConfiguration} interface and thus can be used together with a
 * file-based builder to load XML configuration files from various sources like files, URLs, or streams.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Like other {@code Configuration} implementations, this class uses a {@code Synchronizer} object to control concurrent
 * access. By choosing a suitable implementation of the {@code Synchronizer} interface, an instance can be made
 * thread-safe or not. Note that access to most of the properties typically set through a builder is not protected by
 * the {@code Synchronizer}. The intended usage is that these properties are set once at construction time through the
 * builder and after that remain constant. If you wish to change such properties during life time of an instance, you
 * have to use the {@code lock()} and {@code unlock()} methods manually to ensure that other threads see your changes.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * More information about the basic functionality supported by {@code XMLConfiguration} can be found at the user's guide
 * at <a href="https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/howto_basicfeatures.html"> Basic
 * features and AbstractConfiguration</a>. There is also a separate chapter dealing with
 * <a href="commons.apache.org/proper/commons-configuration/userguide/howto_xml.html"> XML Configurations</a> in
 * special.
