Elliotte Rusty Harold’s new XML Object Model (XOM) is a simple, tree-basedAPI for XML, written in Java. XOM attempts to build on good ideas fromother Java XML APIs — SAX, DOM, and JDOM — and to leave behind some of theirfrustrations.

An XML Hero Reconsiders?
Most, if not all of the permanent topics of conversation on XML-DEV revolve around two camps of people: one which thinks aspect N of XML is a wart, the other which thinks N is an elegance. These threads never end because, in part, there is no final or absolute context within which XML is meant to be used. Whether you think of N as a wart or an elegance is context dependent and interest relative. It depends almost entirely on who you are and what you want
