PDFAParser (veraPDF WCAG Validation 1.20.1 API)

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable, Component
```
public interface PDFAParser
extends Component
```
Simple interface that needs a little more work. This abstracts the parsing of the veraPDF ValidationModel allowing the implementation and run-time selection of different model parsers possible.
