t's almost impossible to ignore the impact that XML has had on today's applications, from the simplest client-side application storing user settings to an enterprise application with XML message passing. As a result, a number of frameworks and APIs have sprung up to simplify the task of reading and writing verbose XML files.
Each of these APIs focuses on solving a particular developer problem, such as providing an object-oriented view of XML through tools like XMLBeans and JAXB or an event view of XML through tools such as SAX and StAX. This article demonstrates how to combine two of these great APIs, XMLBeans (see Sidebar 1. What Is XMLBeans?) and StAX (see Sidebar 2. What Is StAX?), to obtain the benefits of each in your next application.
