There is no compelling reason for a Java API to manipulate XML to be
|
||
|
complex, tricky, unintuitive, or a pain in the neck. JDOM[TM] is both
|
||
|
Java-centric and Java-optimized. It behaves like Java, it uses Java
|
||
|
collections, it is completely natural API for current Java developers,
|
||
|
and it provides a low-cost entry point for using XML.
|
||
|
|
||
|
While JDOM interoperates well with existing standards such as the Simple
|
||
|
API for XML (SAX) and the Document Object Model (DOM), it is not an
|
||
|
abstraction layer or enhancement to those APIs. Rather, it provides a
|
||
|
robust, light-weight means of reading and writing XML data without the
|
||
|
complex and memory-consumptive options that current API offerings
|
||
|
provide.
