IBM XML for Java
IBM is a major contributor to Apache's Xerces-J code base. Version 1.4.1 of Xerces-J forms the basis for XML4J 3.2.1. IBM is a pioneer in XML technologies, with parsers that have been consistently highly rated since XML4J version 1.0 was released in 1998. The XML Parser for Java is a validating XML parser written in 100% pure Java.

XML Parsers: DOM and SAX Put to the Test
XML is becoming increasingly popular in the developer community as a tool for passing, manipulating, storing, and organizing information. If you are one of the many developers planning to use XML, you must carefully select and master the XML parser.

XML Parsing with Cold Fusion
CFX_XMLParser is a Fast Java CFX tag that takes an XML document and returns a ColdFusion structure containing the XML document. Our tests show this parser to be about 1000% faster than the MSXML Parser invoked through CFOBJECT. CFOBJECT based parsers also tend to buckle under load.

XML Parsers
Behind the scenes of any application, be it a word processor, database, or graphics, is software that takes data and puts it in a format that the application can understand. With applications that read XML, this processor is called a parser. The end user typically doesn't have any control over which parser is being used, but the developer must decide which parser is the most appropriate to integrate into an application or perhaps to build one from scratch.

XML Parser Comparison
In order to process XML data every program or server process needs an XML parser. The parser extracts the actual data out of the textual representation and creates either events or new data structures from them. Parsers also check whether documents conform to the XML standard and have a correct structure.

XML Conformance Update
This article is an update to my earlier articles from 1999 that tested the XML 1.0 conformance of parsers. Since then, there has been notable development of the parsers, and updates to the XML 1.0 specification itself. With respect to the dozen Java parsers reviewed last year, there have been a number of interesting changes, both in their conformance and in their open-source status. Microsoft's MSXML parser has also received a significant update, with the release of "technology previews."

SAX Home Page
SAX is the Simple API for XML, originally a Java-only API. SAX was the first widely adopted API for XML in Java, and is a “de facto” standard. The current version is SAX 2.0.1, and there are versions for several programming language environments other than Java.
