JDOM[TM] is both +Java-centric and Java-optimized. It behaves like Java, it uses Java +collections, it is completely natural API for current Java developers, +and it provides a low-cost entry point for using XML. + +While JDOM interoperates well with existing standards such as the Simple +API for XML (SAX) and the Document Object Model (DOM), it is not an +abstraction layer or enhancement to those APIs. Rather, it provides a +robust, light-weight means of reading and writing XML data without the +complex and memory-consumptive options that current API offerings +provide. |
