XML Parsers / XML Processors

There are numbers of XML parsers available on the market.

This is a compiled list of some of the most used.

Microsoft's XML Parser (MSXML)

Microsoft's XML parser is automatically installed when you install Internet Explorer 5.0 or later.

MSXML supports most of the international standards for XML 1.0 and the XML DOM (Document Object Model). These standards are set by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

MSXML can be used with different software, like Internet Explorer, Visual Basic and C++.

There are different versions of MSXML. The latest version has XPath and SAX support. It can be downloaded from http://msdn.microsoft.com/default.asp. 

IBM XML

XML4C is a validating XML parser written in a portable subset of C++. It provides classes for parsing, generating, manipulating, and validating XML documents. XML4C is faithful to the XML 1.0 Recommendation and associated standards (DOM 1.0, SAX 1.0, DOM 2.0 etc). Source code, samples and API documentation are provided with the parser. Supported platforms are: AIX, Linux, Solaris, Windows NT, Windows 98, HP-UX 11, HP-UX 10.2, AS/400.

XML4J is a validating XML parser written in 100% pure Java. The latest release contains public and stable support of the DOM Level 1, and SAX Level 1 specifications. It also contains implementations of the DOM Level 2, the SAX Level 2 implementations, and parts of W3C Schema, but these are considered experimental. Supported platforms: Linux and all Java platforms.

Apache Xerces

Xerces provides world-class XML parsing and generation. Fully-validating parsers are available for both Java and C++, implementing the W3C XML and DOM (Level 1 and 2) standards, as well as the defacto SAX (version 2) standard. The parsers are highly modular and configurable. Initial support for XML Schema (draft W3C standard) is also provided.

You can read more about Xerces at http://xml.apache.org.

Expat

James Clark's Expat is an XML parser written in C. It aims to be fully XML 1.0 conforming. Expat is currently not a validating XML processor.

To run Expat on your computer you have to compile and load an executable using your C compiler.

You can read more about Expat at http://www.jclark.com/xml/expat.html.

Expat FAQs are at http://www.jclark.com/xml/expatfaq.html.

Xparse-J

Xparse-J aspires to be the smallest Java XML parser on the planet.

Xparse-J favors compactness over conformance, so it is mainly useful for being embedded in Java applets for simple XML processing tasks, such as parsing RSS.

Xparse-J is a literal translation of Xparse, an XML parser in 5k of JavaScript, into Java.
