JavaTM API for XML Processing
README

Specification Version: 1.4
Reference Implementation (RI) Version: 1.4.5

The Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) enables applications to parse, transform, validate and query XML documents using an API that is independent of a particular XML processor implementation. JAXP provides a pluggability layer to enable vendors to provide their own implementations without introducing dependencies in application code.  Using this software, application and tool developers can build fully-functional XML-enabled Java applications for e-commerce, application integration, and web publishing.

The Java Platform, Standard Edition version 6 and 7 include JAXP 1.4. JAXP 1.4 is a maintenance release of JAXP 1.3 with support for the Streaming API for XML (StAX). JAXP 1.4 FCS was released on Oct. 31, 2006 with a code base the same as that in JDK 6.0. JAXP 1.4.5 provides many improvement and bug fixes as listed in the change log and is now in JDK 7. For information about the current development activities, please refer to the JAXP project.
