Open Source Java XML Parsers

VTD-XML is the next generation XML parser/indexer/editor/slicer/assembler/xpath-engine that goes beyond DOM, SAX and PULL in performance, memory usage, and ease of use.

EDIReader parses EDI input from ANSI X12 and EDIFACT, including documents for HIPAA compliance. It supports Java JAXP/SAX XML interfaces with a custom implementation of an "XML" parser, allowing access to EDI data with XML tools.

Java Micro XML Parser provides XML Writer and Pull/DOM-like XML Parser. Small 21kb jar is easily embedded and only requires J2ME. Very clean and simple API.

Piccolo is the fastest SAX parser for Java, supporting SAX1, SAX2, and JAXP (SAX only). Piccolo is different from other parsers in that it was developed using parser generators. It weighs 160K including XML APIs. See http://piccolo.sf.net for more info.

A tiny, compact XML Parser written in Java that is less than 6K in size when compiled using JDK 1.3, that can be used in either a J2SE or J2ME envioronment.

Free lightweight HTML/XML parser.

Combine Jabber, Java, Java Servlets, JavaScript, Stylesheets, XSL, and Xerces XML Parser for starters and you get JabberHTTPServlets. JabberServlets is a concept (ala Jer) to come that will allow interaction with the Jabber Server through Java.

Traditionally, XML is parsed either by an event-based parser or by a tree-based parser. Event-based parsers are fast and have minimal memory consumption, but implementing the event handlers is cumbersome. Tree-based parsers result in code that is easier to develop, to understand and to maintain, but have high memory consumption as the whole parse tree needs to be kept in memory at the same time. JavaXMLFrag is a partial parse tree based parser, where only parts of the parse tree need to be kept in memory at the same time. It therefore combines the benefits of tree-based parsers and event-based parsers.

Small footprint, fast Java XML parser. Parses to an easily manipulable nested class structure which can be converted back to formatted or unformatted XML with a single call. Uses and creates straight XML, no DTDs necessary or used.

MParser is a XML parser targetted to be very lightweight (<7Kb) and with constant/very low memory greedy, thus is focused to be used within constrained environments such as J2ME/CLDC v1.0

The goal of the project was to develop an experimental open source standard based parser component for the Java 2 Micro Edition (J2ME) CLDC platform, that supported both SAX and DOM. THE PROJECT IS NOT CONTINUED.

This is an XML-Parser for Java ME based on the work of Marc De Scheemaecker (original NanoXML-Parser) and Eric Giguère (ported NanoXML to the J2ME platform). It was extended with helpful methods to parse and navigate in RDF and OWL files.

NunniMJAX is a minimal java library for parsing XML. The API and functioning recall SAX and is sequential and event-driven. The parser strives to verify that the XML is well-formed, but no validation. NunniMJAX's FSM has been generated using NunniFSMGen

SnortXMLParser is a java XML parser that generates Webpages from Snort XML logs.

Sparta is a lightweight Java XML package that includes an XML parser, a DOM, and an XPath interpreter. The code-size is small, the parser is fast, the object memory size is small, and the DOM API is clean and simple.

Provide a tiny non-validating XML parser and XML Java Binding object to convert XML into Java objects. It supports XML features such as elements and attributes. Very small footprint, only 17K!

WSFuzzer is a fuzzing penetration testing tool used against HTTP SOAP based web services. It tests numerous aspects (input validation, XML Parser, etc) of the SOAP target. It is only to be used against targets that have granted permission to be teste

Wingfoot SOAP client (wsoap) is SOAP 1.1 compliant client library for MIDP/CLDC, Personal Java/CDC, J2SE and J2EE platforms. It has an extremely small footprint- 35k with the XML parser, and 21k without it.

XML Tree Object Model (XTOM) is a java 1.4 based XML parser. It is designed to be easy and simple to use for parsing XML configuration files. It uses the notion of a Tree to hold XML Elements and implements a path based element navigation system.

jxml2sql is a Java application for converting database structures in XML to other formats useful for database administration (ie. SQL for table creation, HTML for reference docs). jxml2sql uses a minimalistic, non-validating, Java XML parser (NanoXML).

Jabber client libraries for light java devices such as mobile phones, it brings instant messaging capabilities to every java phone (with support to MIDP), but may be used for other applications! It uses a very tiny XML parser crafted for this project.

Picxml is a tool for xml files management. Used as command: Picxml is a shell friendly, xpath like query tool. Used as library: picxml, is a full featured xml Parser, wich allows you to navigate, find/create/update/delete/print nodes.

Light-weight Java XML parser with limited XPath search support. Aimed to be used as a utility for misc developing tasks (i.e. config file parsing, message exchange between objects, etc). Features: (i) Runs on Java 1.1 VM (can be used for applets) (i

A fast, useful subset of XSLT implemented using (and intended for use in conjunction with) the Electric XML parser from The Mind Electric.

Annotate your POJOs to create a fully-functional application, with table support, collection filters, and persistence hooks.
