AXIOM

Axiom captures all the information items found inside an XML. Text content being one of the most important information components within an XML document, Axiom provides multiple ways of extracting that information. This tutorial explains all if such text manipulation methods, to allow users implement the most appropriate method depending on the context or requirement.

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.

This introductory tutorial by Nandika Jayawardana is a guide to creating Web services with WSO2 WSF/C.

Apache AXIOM does not support schema validation natively. This tutorial by Eran Chinthaka will guide you on how AXIOM can be used to perform a schema validation with the help of javax.xml.validation utilities that come with JDK 1.5.

AXIOM (AXis Object Model) is the StAX based XML object model used inside Apache Axis2. This article by Eran Chinthaka discusses various methods of creating and encapsulating different XML sources into an AXIOM object model.

Streaming API for XML (StAX) provides more control and flexibility to those who need to process XML documents in their applications. The performance gain and the memory efficiency that can be achieved by using StAX is very important for most of the applications that use XML. This article by Eran Chinthaka gives an introduction to StAX and provides some insights into using it.

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.
