XML / HTML parsers

[lars@nospam.nosoftwarepatents.edu]

I'm looking at finally experimenting with java and am looking for
some XML or HTML parser. Where can I find good ones?

I use and recommend the usage of jdom[1] to handle any kind of xml-work in
java -- it has a clean and simple interface, is well thought out and now
that 1.0 is finaly released.

While jdom will serve you well handling xhtml-1.x, html-4.x and it's
predecessors are another matter - we use HTMLTidy[2] to convert html-4.x to
xhtml with great success.

hth,

castor makes a real nice XML parser. you can point it to a defined XML
schema and it will build the Java classes for you.
