Re: Re: [ajug-members]: XML to Objects

JDOM(www.jdom.org?) is all you really need, I am pretty sure this will fit
your needs depending on what you plan to do.  Of course you could go with
the lower level SAX APIs and these classes are found in any higherlevel XML
library you download, and above SAX and before the JDOM layer are the DOM
classes, which also can be used.  With that being said.  To manipulate XML,
you can use any of the layers.

SAX -> DOM -> JDOM
