  - ### newInstance

    public static DOMBuilder newInstance() throws ParserConfigurationException
    Throws:
      `ParserConfigurationException`

  - ### newInstance

    public static DOMBuilder newInstance(boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware) throws ParserConfigurationException
    Throws:
      `ParserConfigurationException`

  - ### parse

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

  - ### parse

    public static Document parse(Reader reader, boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware) throws SAXException, IOException, ParserConfigurationException
    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.
    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
    Throws:
      `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      `IOException` - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      `ParserConfigurationException` - if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.

  - ### parse

    public static Document parse(Reader reader, boolean validating, boolean namespaceAware, boolean allowDocTypeDeclaration) throws SAXException, IOException, ParserConfigurationException
    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.
    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
    Throws:
      `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      `IOException` - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      `ParserConfigurationException` - if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.

  - ### parseText

    public Document parseText(String text) throws SAXException, IOException, ParserConfigurationException
    A helper method to parse the given text as XML.
    Parameters:
      `text` - the XML text to parse
    Returns:
      the root node of the parsed tree of Nodes
    Throws:
      `SAXException` - Any SAX exception, possibly wrapping another exception.
      `IOException` - An IO exception from the parser, possibly from a byte stream or character stream supplied by the application.
      `ParserConfigurationException` - if a DocumentBuilder cannot be created which satisfies the configuration requested.
