XPathReaderFactory (jaxen 1.2.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jaxen.saxpath.helpers.XPathReaderFactory

```
public class XPathReaderFactory
extends Object
```
Create an XPathReader from either a system property, or a named class.
Similar to the SAX API, the XPathReaderFactory can create an XPathReader from a name of a class passed in directly, or by inspecting the system property org.saxpath.driver.
