XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

This is to announce the nux-1.0beta1 release (http://dsd.lbl.gov/nux/).

Nux is a small, straightforward, and surprisingly effective open-source 
extension of the  XOM XML library.

Features include:
        •       Seamless W3C XQuery and XPath support for XOM, through Saxon.
	• 	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.
        •       Well documented API. Ships in a jar file that weighs just 60 
KB.

Changelog:

	• 	Versions are now labelled as "Beta", meaning: No known bugs exist, 
and no incompatible changes are planned. Please stress this release to 
shake out any remaining bugs potentially lurking in remote corners.
        •       XQuery: properly convert orphan nodes handed from the wrapper.
        •       XOMUtil.toPrettyXML: remove trailing line break, if present.
        •       Javadoc improvements
	• 	Changed BuilderFactory.createMSVBuilder(File) to 
BuilderFactory.createMSVBuilder(InputStream, URI)

In order to update to the new API, change client code like

File schema = ...
BuilderFactory factory = ...
Builder builder = factory.createMSVBuilder(schema);

   to the new style, as follows:

File schema = ...
BuilderFactory factory = ...
Builder builder = factory.createMSVBuilder(
    new FileInputStream(schema), schema.toURI());

Wolfgang.
