Xerces

Xerces is a family of software packages for parser and manipulating XML, part of the Apache Software Foundation XML project. Xerces (named after the Xerces Blue butterfly) provides world-class XML parsing and generation.

In particular the Java XML version was one of the original Java programming language XML parsers and is still (as of 2002) the most popular Java implementation.

The library itself implements a number of standard APIs for XML parsing, including Document Object Model, Simple API for XML and SAX2.
