XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <whoschek AT lbl.gov>]

This is to announce the nux-1.0beta3 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.
	• 	Serialization and deserialization of XOM XML documents to and from   
an efficient and compact custom binary XML data format (bnux format),  
without loss or change of any information.
	• 	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:

	• 	BinaryXMLCodec: Substantial  performance improvements for small  
documents and pure ASCII documents. See
