Java XML

From Free net encyclopedia

The Java programming language XML APIs from Sun Microsystems consist of the following separate programming APIs:

• Java API for XML Processing, or JAXP.
• Java API for XML Messaging, or JAXM.
• Java API for XML-based RPC, or JAX-RPC.
• Java API for XML Registries, or JAXR.
• Java Architecture for XML Binding, or JAXB. – (this is its official Sun name, even though it is an API, see [1])

Only the Java API for XML Processing is a required API in Enterprise Java Beans Specification 1.3.

A number of different software packages implement these APIs including:

• Xerces – One of the original and still (in 2002) most popular SAX and DOM parser.
• Crimson XML – A faster SAX and DOM parser.
• Xalan – The original and still (in 2002) most popular XSLT/XPath implementations.
• Sparta XML – A fast and small SAX and DOM parser that also includes an XPath subset.
