alphaWorks Updated XML Technologies
XML Parser for Java ------------------------------------------------------------ What it is --------------- XML Parser for Java is a validating XML parser written in 100% pure Java. The package (com.ibm.xml.parser) contains classes and methods for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents. XML Parser for Java is believed to be the most robust XML processor currently available and conforms most closely to the XML 1.0 Recommendation. Update Reason --------------- New v2.0.9 contains bug fixes, DOM Implementation classes are no longer final, modified license, and multiple parser objects can be active at once.

The processor can be used from the command line or from an wrapper applet, or it can be used as a submodule of other programs, and accessed via the API. Update Reason --------------- New release of LotusXSL v0.17 supports the April 24 W3C XSLT Working Draft, also better trace facilities, formatter control from the command line, and the ability to pass stylesheet parameters from the command line..

Users can thus create/edit/expand any document derived from that DTD, by using a visual tree-directed paradigm. The visual paradigm requires a minimum learning curve as only valid constructs/elements are presented to the user in a context-sensitive palette. Update Reason --------------- Xeena is now JDK 1.2 compatible. New important features enable validating elements and changing encoding of documents. Also contains bug fixes.
