      public class Document
      extends java.lang.Object
      implements java.io.Serializable

  Represents a user generated document. The following example shows how to create a document consisting of a set of fields, some with plain text and some in HTML.

          Document document = Document.newBuilder().setId("document id")
             .setLocale(Locale.UK)
             .addField(Field.newBuilder()
                 .setName("subject")
                 .setText("going for dinner"))
             .addField(Field.newBuilder()
                 .setName("body")
                 .setHTML("<html>I found a restaurant.</html>"))
             .addField(Field.newBuilder()
                 .setName("signature")
                 .setText("ten post jest przeznaczony dla odbiorcy")
                 .setLocale(new Locale("pl")))
             .addField(Field.newBuilder()
                 .setName("tag")
                 .setText("food"))
             .addField(Field.newBuilder()
                 .setName("tag")
                 .setText("friend"))
             .build();

  The following example shows how to access the fields within a document:

          Document document = ...

          for (Field field : document.getFields()) {
            switch (field.getType()) {
              case TEXT: use(field.getText()); break;
              case HTML: use(field.getHtml()); break;
              case ATOM: use(field.getAtom()); break;
              case DATE: use(field.getDate()); break;
            }
          }
