"Sun Microsystems today announced the early access availability
of two key Java technology application programming interfaces
(APIs) for the Extensible Markup Language (XML): the Java API for
XML Messaging (JAXM) and the Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP). Both
APIs are downloadable free of charge through Sun's Java Developer
Connection Connection at http://java.sun.com/jdc/. More information
on Sun's historical and present work with XML can be found at
http://www.sun.com/xml."
"These two APIs, along with the Java API for XML Data Binding
(JAXB), form the core of XML support in the Java 2 platform. JAXB,
formerly called Project Adelard is nearing completion through the
Java Community Process (JCP) program. These Java technologies for
XML give developers a powerful, easy-to-use API tool set for
developing and deploying Java technology-based applications that
harness the synergies of the Java platform's portable code and
XML's portable data. With the delivery of JAXM, JAXP, and the
forthcoming JAXB, Sun is providing essential XML functionality to
Java technology developers and continuing to deliver on its vision
of simplifying development of network-centric applications based on
open industry standards. All three technologies are being developed
through the JCP program, the open, community-based organization
that stewards the evolution of the Java platform. JAXP, JAXM and
JAXB are expected to be included in the next releases of the Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Java 2 Platform, Standard
Edition (J2SE)."
