JDOM

Can be used for parsing, processing and writing XML data.

JDOM is one of the best solutions for outputting XML data from Java code, and it does not escalate memory consumption like other similar solutions.

Documentation and setup instructions are included with the download package.

What is new in this release:

• Fixes:
• Uses different methods on StAX Stream output to ensure that Namespace URI's are prefixed correctly.
• Improve documentation for SAXBuilder.build(String) so that it is more obvious that the String is not actual XML values, but a URI.
• Improves performance of SAXBuilder when there are large ( greater than 1KB ) text sections in the input XML.
• Compile (and test) against Jaxen 1.1.6
• Setting the Line Separator for JDOM would not work from System.properties().
• Correctly set the 'xmlns' prefix and URI for Namespace declarations in DOMOutputter.

What is new in version 2.0.3:

• Fixes:
• Makes subclasses of JDOM content serializable even if they are not in the org.jdom2 package.
• Extends the SAX processing in JDOM to allow specific (named) JAXP factories to be used
• Fixes a false-positive check for Attributes. See the issue for the details.
• A performance improvement for AttributeList
• Performance improvements for Verifier
• Includes performance improvements to the regular ContentList.
• The name for the JDOM artifact in maven-central: JDOM 2.x from now on will be released in to the jdom2 artifact, instead of the jdom artifact.
