SAXON is a Java class library providing a range of services on top of SAX; it is particularly useful for writing applications to process specific document types. I have used it to do a wide variety of XML-to-XML and XML-to-HTML transformations, and to load XML data into relational databases. I have produced a new release which is available for download from http://home.iclweb.com/icl2/mhkay/saxon.html Changes in this version: * Substantial performance improvements (factor of 2 to 3) * Greatly improved error/exception handling * Minor bug fixes and documentation improvements * A new (experimental) integration with the DOM, as implemented by FREE-DOM. The idea of the FREE-DOM integration is that you can now write the same event-driven SAXON application to process a document serially, from raw parser events, or to do a traversal of the DOM tree. The only difference is that in the latter case, additional facilities are available, for example the ability to update the DOM and generate a new XML document from it. (Incidentally, this works by having a SAX driver that traverses the DOM instead of parsing an input file. This is probably a useful animal in its own right, outside the SAXON context). I have produced a number of ad-hoc XML applications using SAXON and I feel the functionality has now stabilised to do most of the things I find useful, including things like sorting and automatic numbering of elements. Feedback from others will be very welcome, however. I have also re-released GedML, a SAXON application that processes genealogical data encoded in XML.
