Jaxp 1.1 and InputStreams

Greetings.

I started using Jaxp 1.1 last week. I noticed that the functions DocumentBuilder.parse() only accept java.io.InputStream. Can someone explain why java.io.InputStream has been used instead of java.io.Reader? I thought that we should move to java.io.Reader gradually. I have to use a java.io.StringBufferInputStream which is deprecated because of the interface supported by Jaxp 1.1. If I could, I would prefer to pass a java.io.StringReader instance to the functions instead.

Sincerely,

Hans Deragon
