2.1 About JAXP
JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) is a standard XML API for the Java language defined in JSR 206 of the Java Community Process.
The following table describes the JAXP functions that Cosminexus XML Processor supports.

Function
|
Overview
|
|
DOM
|
Analyze an XML document to generate a DOM tree. Also, manipulates the generated DOM tree.
|
|
SAX
|
Analyze an XML document to generate an SAX event. Also, handles the generated event.
|
|
StAX
|
Parses an XML document to generate a StAX event and also processes the generated event. Does not require a handler, and therefore
can perform procedural processing of XML documents.
|
|
XSLT
|
Receives an XML document as input, transforms the document based on a stylesheet, and then outputs another XML document, an
HTML document, or text.
|
|
XPath
|
Evaluates an XPath expression.
|
|
Validation
|
Validates an XML document based on the schema document.
|
|
Datatype
|
Processes the date and time format data defined in W3C XML Schema 1.0.
|
JAXP includes APIs that can generate DOM parsers, SAX parsers, StAX parsers, XSLT transformers, XPath objects, Validation
objects, and Datatype objects. These APIs do not depend on the JAXP implementation. This frees you from needing to be aware
of the implementation of the XML processor used when you create a program that handles and operates XML documents. Therefore,
Cosminexus XML Processor enables you to create cross-platform programs.
