XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

This is to announce the nux-1.0a5 release (http://dsd.lbl.gov/nux/).

Nux is a small, straightforward, and surprisingly effective open-source 
extension of the  XOM XML library.  It is geared towards versatile 
embedded integration and interchange, in particular for high-throughput 
server container environments (e.g. large-scale Peer-to-Peer messaging 
network infrastructures over high-bandwidth networks, scalable MOMs, 
etc). But its simplicity also makes it useful for client side XML 
query/transformation workflow pipelines.

Features include:
        •       Seamless W3C XQuery support for XOM.
	• 	Efficient and flexible pools and factories for XQueries, XSL 
Transforms, as well as Builders that validate against various schema 
languages, including W3C XML Schemas, DTDs, RELAX NG, Schematron, etc.
	• 	For simple and complex continuous queries and/or transformations 
over very large or infinitely long XML input, a convenient streaming 
path filter API combines full XQuery support with straightforward 
filtering.
        •       Glue for integration with JAXB and for queries over 
ill-formed HTML.
	• 	All this is rock-solid, dependable, well documented, and ships in a 
jar file that weighs just 60 KB.

Changelog:

	• 	Added schema validation support for RELAX NG and Schematron. See 
BuilderFactory and BuilderPool.
        •       Added JAXB convenience conversion support. See XOMUtil.
        •       Renamed XQuery.evaluate to XQuery.execute
        •       Javadoc improvements

Regards,
Wolfgang.
