Dongwook Shin announced that XPERT (XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool) Version 0.5 [February 13 2001] now supports SAX. "XPERT is now able to index with SAX parsers as well as DOM parsers. With this, you can virtually index any size of XML file no matter how large it is. And you can hook up any Java SAX parser to XPERT as long as it supports SAX version 2. One more advantage is that SAX version takes less memory and index more quickly than DOM version. This Java tool allows different types of XML documents to be indexed together and and to be retrieved in an efficient way using an XPath based query language."
"I am pleased to provide XPERT - an XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool to you. I am trying my best to upgrade the features and fix the known bugs. XPERT (XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool) is a Java software pursuing a flexible XML content management. It allows multiple types of XML documents to be indexed together and to be retrieved in an efficient way. The highlight features it provides are:
- allows indexing of multiple types of documents
- the low indexing overhead with compressing indices allows fast query processing with XPath based query
- supports the wild character (*) and phrase searching
- customized stemming class and stop word file can be hooked to XPERT easily.

Hello folks:
But, I am pleased to announce that XPERT (XPath based query language Evaluation and Retrieval Tool) is now able to index with SAX parsers as well as DOM parsers. With this, you can virtually index any size of XML file no matter how large it is. And, you can hook up any Java SAX parser to XPERT as long as it supports SAX version 2. One more advantage is that SAX version takes less memory and index more quickly than DOM version.
XPERT will be commercialized by the company CTIS (www.ctisinc.com) that I will be working very soon. So the source code will not be available. Sorry about that. But you can download and freely test it for the time being at www.futurexpert.com until the license police is decided by the company.
Sincerely, Dongwook
