AXIOM

My GSoC project in the year 2007 was to implement XML canonicalization based on Apache Axiom. Today I am very much joyed to see it inside the Apache Axiom source tree. The features of the implementation are as follows.

1. XML Canonicalization including comments

2. XML Canonicalization excluding comments.

3. Exclusive XML Canonicalization including comments.

4. Exclusive XML Canonicalization excluding comments.

This article by Lahiru Gunathilake illustrates the latest performance results of Apache Axis2/C and compares with the performance of Axis2/C with Guththila XML parser and libxml2 XML parser.

Eran Chinthaka joins us again this week on Oxygen Tank Podcasts to talk about Apache Axiom, the StAX based, XML Infoset object model. Apache Axiom was initially developed as part of the Apache Axis2 project but was recently spun off on its own. In this podcast, find out how Axiom optimizes SOAP processing and how the advantages of deferred building help to improve the performance of a Web service engine.
