Tutorial Series: Oracle XML Parser Techniques

Updated August 2003

This series of tutorials answers some frequently-asked questions about using the XML Parser for Java v2, part of the XDK for Java. Oracle XML Developer's Kit (XDK) contains XML component libraries and utilities that you can use to XML-enable applications and Web sites.

Oracle provides XML parsers in the XDKs for Java, C, C++, and PL/SQL. Each is a stand-alone XML component that parses an XML document (or a stand-alone DTD) so that it can be processed by an application. The parsers support the DOM (Document Object Model) and SAX (Simple API for XML) interfaces, XML Namespaces, validating and non-validating modes, and XSL transformations. They are available on all Oracle platforms.
