XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[<Brendan.Johnston AT wellsfargo.com>]

The point is that Tim Bray is not dealing with *All of XML*.

He used:

  "a prefilter to glue together tags that got split across multiple lines, 
just so I could do the regexp trick."

on his:

  "machine-generated XML"

Others subset XML too.  I think one of the critisms of SOAP is that it 
disallows some constructs so that it can embed an XML document in an envelope.

*All of XML* is so big that an XML library like XOM seems to need other XML 
libraries for parsing.

Two solutions to the fact that *All of XML* is big are:

 1. Only handle a subset of XML
 2. Use a library, like XOM

in particular notice the place where the guy does
(which is very close to what I was trying to do with
XOM):

while (<STDIN>) {
  next if (X<meta>X);
  if    (X<h1>|<h2>|<h3>|<h4>X)
  { $divert = 'head'; }
  elsif (X<img src="/^(.*\.jpg)$/i>X)
  { &proc_jpeg($1); }
  # and so on...
}
