It is a mischaracterization of LINQ to say it's just an API for processing XML using Microsoft technologies. LINQ in a generic data access layer, similar in respects to JDBC in the Java world, but LINQ encompasses multiple technologies such as JDBC, ODBC, XML, in memory objects, etc. It a single interface or paradigm to multiple data acesss technologies. However, using LINQ to acesss XML documents is analogous to using XQuery on the XML document and LINQ to XML would be more appropriately compared to the XQJ specification in the Java world. Andy.
