Xerces2

This version adds the ability to modify the parsing pipeline dynamically, modifies the DOM to carry PSVI information, provides access to PSVI via SAX, allows separation of the Schema datatype implementation to be used as standalone datatype library, fixes bugs, and makes a lot of other small changes.

Various bugfixes and improvements were made, including reporting locator information for XML Schema errors, updating DTD datatypes to use new interfaces, a fix for a bug in serialization of documents with namespaces, updating experimental XNI grammar interfaces, and deferring loading of XML Schema grammars until needed.

This is the first production-quality release of the Xerces2 Java XML parser. This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a complete framework for building parser components and configurations that is extremely modular. Xerces2 provides more features with the same level of compliance as Xerces 1.x.

This release fixes various bugs, greatly improves the XML Schema support in the Xerces2 parser, and adds new DOM Level 3 support. In addition, the Xerces Native Interface (XNI) was modified to allow the "streaming" information set to carry arbitrary data to extend the document information. This feature is used to provide an API to the Post Schema Validation Infoset (PSVI). Please note that this API is still under development.
