Java XML

The Java XML APIs from Sun 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] (http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/WebServices/jaxb/)
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.
