[Biojava-dev] DOM, JDom, Xerces?

[Andy Yates]

Hey Mark,

I've tried using XPath before on a couple of projects & it is quite  
nice. In terms of implementations the internal Java one isn't that  
bad but I really like XOM. It's a very clear/clean API and is quite  
easy to switch between using XPath back into the normal API.

The other program I've heard reasonable things about is http:// 
javadude.com/tools/antxr/index.html which is the XML equivalent to  
antlr. I haven't used it yet but it does look interesting
