What's wrong with Jdom[1] and dom4j[2]? Too big? One of the contradictions in asking for "a small xml parser" is that an xml parser needs to fulfill a number of tasks and solve a number of problems to work correctly. For example correct character escaping and handle different encodings. Some of these problems are problems that most homemade or minimal solutions haven't considered, or haven't had the full subject knowledge to implement correctly. These problems must be handled for a parser to be a correctly working xml parser, and once those problems are solved, you pretty much end up with something that is similar to the projects that already exists. For example the ones below. /Erik Beijnoff [1] http://dom4j.org/ [2] http://www.jdom.org/
