Java 1.5 and XML

[Sharp]

Hi

Does Java 1.5 have a nice XML parser? I remember 1.4 did not have a very
good one, and I recall using a 3rd party XML parser.

Cheers

I do not know the answer to your question, but Xerces from Apache org is
supposedly state of the art. I use Oracle's myself, though.

Yeah, thats the 3rd party API i was talking about. Doesn't Java 1.5 have
it's own now?

AFAIK, it ships with Xerces from Apache as the default implementation of
the XML package.

I think your right.

The only reason I've used third-party XML parsers in the past was to get
DOM Events. That is now present in Java 1.5. The exact parser being
used is, of course, unspecified; but I find it likely that Xerces is the
one.
