XmlManager is a high-level class used to manage many of the objects that you use in a Figaro application. The following are some of the things you can do with XmlManager objects:

• Manage containers. This management includes creating, opening, deleting, and renaming containers (see Managing Documents in Containers).
• Create input streams used to load XML documents into containers (see Input Streams and Strings).
• Create XmlDocument, QueryContext, and UpdateContext objects.
• Prepare and run XQuery queries (see Using XQuery).
• Create a transaction object (see the Berkeley DB XML Getting Started with Transaction Processing guide for details).
