XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Luca Passani <passani AT eunet.no>]

People, I need to do a bit of HTML parsing and manipulation. Originally 
I was planning to use my old love, Regular Expressions, but TagSoup may, 
in fact, be a better alternative.
Also, I am not sure which path I should follow.
XOM and XPath? NUX and XQuery?

Here are some of the things I would like to do:

<table>
 <tr>
    <td>A</td>
    <td>B</td>
 </tr>
</table>

should become:

A
B

some elements should be removed/detached (possibly depending on the 
value of some attributes).
Some attributes should be removed for all elements.

Ideas?

thanks

Luca
