XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Wolfgang Hoschek <wolfgang.hoschek AT mac.com>]

RelaxNG, XOM and *SAX* can be combined via the Nux method  
nux.xom.pool.BuilderFactory.createMSVBuilder(InputStream schema, URI  
systemID). See http://dsd.lbl.gov/nux/api/nux/xom/pool/ 
BuilderFactory.html

Example usage:

   nu.xom.Builder builder = new BuilderFactory().createMSVBuilder 
(null, new URI("http://www.docbook.org/docbook-ng/ipa/docbook.rng";));
   //Builder builder = new BuilderFactory().createMSVBuilder(null,  
new File("/tmp/docbook/docbook.rng").toURI());
   Document doc = builder.build(new File("/tmp/mybook.xml"));
   System.out.println(doc.toXML());

Alternatively, RelaxNG, XOM and *StaX* can be combined via the Nux  
method nux.xom.io.StaxUtil.createBuilder(XMLInputFactory  
inputFactory, NodeFactory factory) where XMLInputFactory means  
Woodstox StAX configured to validate against RelaxNG. See the  
woodstox documentation for examples, as well as See http:// 
dsd.lbl.gov/nux/api/nux/xom/io/StaxUtil.html

Example usage:

   XMLInputFactory inputFactory = ... woodstox configured to use  
relaxng
   nu.xom.Builder builder = nux.xom.io.StaxUtil.createBuilder 
(inputFactory, null);
   Document doc = builder.build(new File("/tmp/mybook.xml"));
   System.out.println(doc.toXML());

Both SAX and StAX Builder implementations use the Sun-MSV validator  
behind the scenes.
