From the article: 'An important open-source tool for XML parsing and generation is called Xerces, which is being written by the Apache Group, creators of the Apache open-source Web server with input from IBM and other vendors. "Xerces could be very important, because it would provide a readily available set of XML tools that could spread throughout the industry very quickly," [John] Rymer says.'"

Why Is This an Interesting Article? by jkroll · 2001-03-30 21:23 · Score: 3

Seriously, other than one small paragraph mentioning Apache (immediately after a larger paragraph mentioning several commercial projects), this article seems to be in the standard "XML is great / XML will revolutionize everything" mode. There really is no substance to the article at all.
