Being a mediocre Java coder, I wonder if the alternatives do really
provide any benefits, comparing to the standard DOM with XPath support.
I've looked at the home pages of JDOM, dom4j, XOM, and only XOM has
description how it is different from other competitors. I don't believe
the words "easy to use, intuitive, optimised, flexible, unique, open
source": these words are everywhere.
