XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Peter Stibrany" <pstibrany AT gmail.com>]

javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory produces
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParser objects which are simply wrappers around
XMLReader implementation class (according to
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/xml/parsers/SAXParser.html).
It seems to me that it uses SAX2 stuff, but maybe I am wrong ... which
is likely, as I usually just use XOM and don't care about these
details :-).
