The readme.html file in the root directory of the archive contains release specific information including bug fixes, API additions, and so on.
Oracle XML Parser is an early adopter release and is written in Java. It will check if an XML document is well-formed and, optionally, if it is valid. The parser will construct a Java object tree which can be accessed. It also contains an integrated XSL-T processor for transforming XML documents.
The parser conforms to the following standards:
The W3C recommendation for Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210
The W3C recommendation for Document Object Model Level 1 1.0 at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-DOM-Level-1/
The W3C recommendation for Namespaces in XML at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml-names/
The Simple API for XML (SAX) 1.0 at http://www.megginson.com/SAX/index.html
The W3C final working draft for XSLT at http://www.w3.org/1999/08/WD-xslt
The XML Parser for Java currently supports the following encodings:
UTF-8 is the default encoding if none is specified. Any other ASCII or EBCDIC based encodings that are supported by the JDK may be used.However, they must be specified in the format required by the JDK instead of as official character set names defined by IANA.
The parser also provides error recovery. It will recover from most errors and continue processing until a fatal error is encountered.
