Java and XML, Third Edition: New Edition Gives Java Developers a Practical Approach to Using XML.Java and XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. , Third Edition: New Edition Gives Java Developers a Practical Approach to Using XML Sebastopol, CA-With each new edition of (O'Reilly, US $49.99), it becomes apparent that neither Java nor XML are technologies to stand still. "A lot has changed-again!" says Brett McLaughlin, coauthor of the new third edition of the book, with Justin Edelson. "The second edition, released in 2001, was really about the wealth of new APIs that had become available for working with XML from Java," recalls McLaughlin. "Instead of just SAX and DOM, there were now APIs to work with databases, objects, registries in LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) A protocol used to access a directory listing. LDAP support is implemented in Web browsers and e-mail programs, which can query an LDAP-compliant directory. , and even APIs to making working with other APIs easier. Now things have shifted in the Java and XML world once again, and the focus is on ease of use. While any good Java programmer still should have a command of SAX and DOM, using XML has become even easier, and terms like Ajax and data binding should be part of any competent Java programmer's vocabulary. "This third edition of Java and XML reflects that change in usage: while the depth in the core XML APIs remains, an increased focus is laid on usability," McLaughlin adds. "We detail not only how you can do something, but some of the tried and true, 'best' ways to do those things." The book is written for intermediate to advanced Java developers who need to use XML, including developers involved in the new peer-to-peer movement, messaging, or web services, or those involved with developing software for electronic commerce. After two initial chapters on XML basics, including XPath, XSL, DTDs, and XML Schema, the rest of the book focuses on using XML from Java applications. This third edition covers all major Java XML processing libraries, including full coverage of the SAX, DOM, StAX, JDOM JDOM Java Document Object Model JDOM Java Distributed Object Model JDOM Java Interface to Dom , and dom4j APIs, as well as the latest version of the Java API for XML Processing The factual accuracy of this article or section may be compromised due to out-of-date information. Please see the relevant discussion on the The Java API for XML Processing, or JAXP (pronounced jaks-p), is one of the Java XML programming APIs. and Java Architecture for XML Binding Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) allows Java developers to map Java classes to XML representations. JAXB provides two main features: the ability to marshal Java objects into XML and the inverse, i.e. to unmarshal XML back into Java objects. (JAXB JAXB Java Architecture for XML Binding ). The chapters on web technology have been rewritten to focus on today's most relevant topics: syndicating content with RSS and creating Web 2.0 applications. Brett D.
