Xerces is arguably the most widely deployed Java based XML parser. Open source projects like those from Apache do a very good job of tracking upcoming standards like XML Schema (no more weird DTDs.) Kind of like Linux 2.5 and the USB 2.0 spec."

    Our product uses both Xerces and Xalan.. Xalan-J just jumped to 2.2, and now Xerces has made a very important leap ahead. There's been a lot of issues with both and the latest versions fix a lot of them. This is very cool indeed.
