JDOM 2003-04-21 JDOM is an API for representing the XML document tree structure similar to the DOM, but much simpler and designed specifically for Java using the collections API. JDOM structures can be built from XML files, DOM trees and SAX events and can be converted to the same. 1.0b9 Sun MSV Schematron Add-on 2003-04 The Sun Multi-Schema Validator Schematron Add-on extends the Multi-Schema Validator to support validation of XML documents against RELAX-NG schemas annotated with Schematron schemas.

It can be used as a friendly validation language and for automatically generating external annotation (links, RDF, perhaps Topic Maps). Because it uses paths rather than grammars, it can be used to assert many constraints that cannot be expressed by DTDs or XML Schemas. 1.5 Ælfred Ælfred is designed to be small and fast, especially intended for use in Java applets (it uses only two .class files). It has a non-standard interface. Ælfred reads the DTD, but does not validate the document. ICOM Datenverarbeitungs GmbH icom datenverarbeitungs gmbh David Schere schere, david last release SAXPath 2001-07-25 2002-04-25 SAXPath is an event-based API for XPath parsers, that is, for parsers which parse XPath expressions. SAXPath is intended to be for XPath what SAX is for XML. Note that the SAXPath package only parses XPath expressions; it does not evaluate them, or even provide an object structure for representing them once they have been parsed. 1.0FCS Morus Walter walter, morus Arnaud Sahuguet sahuguet, arnaud The ExoLab Group exolab group, the Edinburgh Language Technology Group edinburgh language technology group XML::Writer XML::Writer is a Perl module which makes it easier to generate correct XML output from Perl.

Kay kay, michael h. libxml gnome-xml 2003-01-06 libxml is a validating XML parser written in C (also known as gnome-xml). It has an event-based (SAX-like) interface and can also build an in-memory DOM-like tree of the parsed document. It can use XML Catalog to resolve entity references. 2.5 XMill XMill is an XML-specific compression tool that claims to achieve about twice the compression that gzip achieves on XML data at similar speed. It is built on gzip, but uses its knowledge that the input is XML to do XML-specific compression tricks that give better results. Perl XTM XTM::Base is a topic map engine that supports XTM 1.0. It can load topic maps from XTM 1.0 documents, and provides a generic API for working with them. There is also a simple text-based interpreter, which can be used to query loaded topic maps, as well as support for XTMPath and LTM. Free XML tools description Minoru Development Corporation minoru development corporation Web publishing sgrep sgrep is a general tool for searching and indexing text that supports XML (and SGML). It also has its own very powerful query language. sgrep supports Unicode. Sun Microsystems sun microsystems TmTk GWTK TmTk is a generic topic map toolkit written in C, with a Python wrapper. It can import and export the XTM 1.0 syntax, can store topic maps in a native persistent backend, and has a built-in query language. The toolkit was previously known as GWTK. Earl Hood hood, earl XOM 2005-01-05 XOM is a tree-based API for processing XML documents that is designed to be better to use than alternatives such as the DOM, dom4j, and JDOM. It is based on SAX 2.0, but does not work with any SAX 2.0 implementation. XOM allows you to access the element structure, modify documents, and serialize documents back to XML. 1.0 RDF-Parser RDF-Parser is an RDF parser that reads RDF files into an RDF data structure. It supports all of the RDF model and syntax recommendation except for EachPrefix. Registration is required for download. VBRELAXNG VBRELAXNG is a RELAX NG implementation written in Visual Basic, which can validate XML documents against RELAX NG schemas.

It follows the ElementTree APIs as closely as possible. 0.5.1 gogoXML Is based on the expat parser built into PHP, but uses it to build a tree representation of XML documents that can be modified and written back to XML. The tree API is not DOM, but deliberately designed to be easier to use. Flute SAC Flute is a CSS2 parser written in Java that implements SAC. SAC is a standard event-based API for CSS parsers, closely modelled on the SAX API for XML parsers. This parser was earlier incorrectly listed here under the name SAC. Xalan-Java Xalan-Java is an XSLT processor written in Java. It implements the entire final XSLT recommendation, and can produce both SAX and DOM output, with support for Java and JavaScript extensions. Xalan-Java uses Xerces-Java for XML parsing. Xalan has a JAXP API. Xalan can also compile XSLT stylesheets to Java bytecode. Topic map engines The eXist team exist team, the RDFDB RDFDB is a database that supports the RDF data model directly. It can load data from files or data can be inserted using the database API. It also supports an SQL-like query language. DSC DSC is a DSSSL engine built on James Clark's SP SGML parser. It implements the DSSSL transformation language, but not the style language, and also contains a nearly complete Scheme implementation. DSC also provides very good error messages, making it useful as a debugging tool. product using product used by used in PassiveTeX PassiveTeX is a TeX implementation of the XSL November 2000 WD and MathML which reads XML documents containing XSL formatting objects and MathML elements and uses LaTeX to produce formatted output. This can be used to produce well-formatted PDF, DVI or PostScript, and even supports bookmarks in the PDF output.
