Hi all!

This is not a specific XOM related question, but does involve the
Java+XML combo.

I have this configuration file, that is a very simple, human-readable
XML file, and I work on an application that needs to read this file
(obviously).

With consideration to the simplicity of the file, I'm confident that I
can pick it up and read the info I need in just about any Java XML
framework out there, however, I would like to do this with the fewest
possible dependancies, and lowest possible memory overhead.
Not because I think memory shortage will be a serious issue, but
because I feel in my gut that it'll be wasteful and overkill to use
something like XOM for such a small file.
Appart from this configuration file, the application does not, and has
no need, to work with XML data.

So, what would a smart guy do in this instance? :-)

Thanks,
Christian.
