what is "current" for XML & Java

In the few weeks Ive started learning to use XML together with Java, there seems to be a lot of different parsers out there. IBM is now donated its XML4J to the xerces project. Other than JAXP, what is considered the "best" XML api for Java out there ?
Well, JAXP is pretty good. Personally, I'd prefer JDOM, because of the memory-cheaper document representation. You can get it at http://www.jdom.org . Its usage depends on the requirements of your application, though.
However, don't confuse JDOM and JAXP with parsers. They are XML APIs which abstract the use of the actual parser used (may it be XML4J, Crimson, Xerces, etc.).

I personally use JAXP. I have used Xerces as well and just found JAXP to be a bit more intuitive to me. I've never tried the one mentioned in the previous post. My suggestion would be to try a couple and pick the one that you feel most proficient with.-Mike
