 * <p>
 * The access semantics is as follows:
 * </p>
 * <ul>
 * <li>There can only be a single {@link io.sirix.api.Database} instance per Database-Folder</li>
 * <li>There can be multiple {@link io.sirix.api.ResourceSession} instances per
 * {@link io.sirix.api.Database} linked uniquely to resources representing concrete
 * data-storages.</li>
 * <li>There can only be a single {@link io.sirix.api.xml.XmlNodeTrx} instance per
 * {@link io.sirix.api.ResourceSession}</li>
 * <li>There can be multiple {@link io.sirix.api.xml.XmlNodeReadOnlyTrx} instances per
 * {@link io.sirix.api.ResourceSession}.</li>
 * </ul>
 * <p>
 * Code examples:
 * </p>
 * <pre>
 * // DatabaseConfiguration denoted the configuration for a connected set of data resources.
 * final DatabaseConfiguration dbConfig = new DatabaseConfiguration(new File("/path/to/db/location"));
 * // Creation of a database. Returns true if successful, false if not (including existence of the database)
 * Database.createDatabase(dbConfig);
 * // Getting of database instance, will be a singleton for the denoted path
 * final IDatabase database = Database.openDatabase(new File("/path/to/db/location");
 * // Creation of a resource within the db. The creation includes the setting of versioning, etc. It must take place only one.
 * final ResourceConfiguration resourceConfig = new ResourceConfiguration.Builder(&quot;coolResource&quot;).setRevision(ERevisioning.Differential).build();
 * database.createResource(resourceConfig);
 * // Getting access via a ISession
 * final SessionConfiguration sessionConfig = new SessionConfiguration(&quot;coolResource&quot;);
 * final ISession someSession = Session.beginSession(sessionConfig);
 *
 * final IWriteTransaction someWTX = someSession.beginWriteTransaction();
 * final IReadTransaction someRTX = someSession.beginReadTransaction();
 * final IReadTransaction someConcurrentRTX = someSession.beginReadTransaction();
 *
 * someWTX.abort();
 * someWTX.close();
 * someRTX.close();
 * someConcurrentRTX.close();
 * someSession.close();
 * database.close();
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * Best practice to safely manipulate a sirix resource within a database if everything exists:
 *</p>
 * <pre>
 *         final IDatabase database = Database.openDatabase(new File(&quot;/path/to/db/location&quot;);
 *         final ISession session = Session.beginSession(new SessionConfiguration(&quot;existingResource&quot;);
 *         final IWriteTransaction wtx = session.beginWriteTransaction();
 *         try {
 *           wtx.insertElementAsFirstChild("foo", "", "");
 *           ...
 *           wtx.commit();
 *         } catch (final AbsTTException exc) {
 *           wtx.abort();
 *           throw new RuntimeException(exc);
 *         } finally {
 *           wtx.close();
 *         }
 *         session.close(); // Might also stand in the finally...
 *         database.close();
 * </pre>
