XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Elliotte Rusty Harold <elharo AT metalab.unc.edu>]

I've posted an updated version of my initial XOM talk, "What's Wrong 
with XML APIs and How to Fix Them" at

http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/XOM/whatswrong/

This brings those slides and examples in sync with the current beta 8 of XOM.

In the next month or two IU plan to make a serious push to finish and 
freeze the API for XOM. At this point I don't foresee any major 
changes to or deletions from the API, though I might add  a piece or 
two. In this pass, I did find a couple of vestigial methods in 
Document I was able to delete (getNextSibling and getPreviousSibling) 
but otherwise it looks pretty solid. There is, of course, still a lot 
of implementation, testing, debugging, optimization, and 
documentation left to be done.
