/**
 * Factory method targeting dynamic contexts which allows a new {@code XmlParser} to be created.
 * It is intended to assist with migration from Groovy 2.5.x to Groovy 3+.
 * Code using this factory will not need to change moving from 2.x to 3+.
 * In Groovy 2.5.x, a {@code groovy.util.XmlParser} will be returned.
 * For Groovy 3+, a {@code groovy.xml.XmlParser} will be returned.
 * For contexts requiring additional static type checking, it is recommended simply to use the
 * normal constructor and change the package to {@code groovy.xml} prior to reaching Groovy 4.
