The Java programming language XML APIs developed by Sun Microsystems consist of the following separate computer-programming APIs:

  • Java API for XML Processing, or JAXP
  • Java API for XML Messaging, or JAXM
  • Java API for XML-based RPC, or JAX-RPC
  • Java API for XML Registries, or JAXR
  • Java API for XML Web Services, or JAX-WS
  • Java API for RESTful Web Services, or JAX-RS
  • Java API for XQuery, or XQJ
  • Java Architecture for XML Binding, or JAXB – (this is its official Sun name, even though it is an API, see [1])
  • Streaming XML processing, or StAX (compatible with JDK 1.4 and above, included in JDK 1.6)

    • Only the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) is a required API in Enterprise Java Beans Specification 1.3.

    A number of different open-source software packages implement these APIs:

  • Xerces – One of the original and most popular SAX and DOM parsers
  • Xalan – XSLT/XPath implementation, included in JDK 1.4 and above as the default transformer (XSLT 1.0)
  • Saxon – alternative highly specification-compliant XSLT/XPath/XQuery processor (supports both XSLT 1.0 and 2.0)
  • Woodstox – An open-source StAX and SAX (as of version 3.2) implementation
