title: Java and XML (O'Reilly Java Tools)
author: Brett McLaughlin
description: Two hot topics come together in this developer's guide from Brett McLaughlin, <i>Java and XML</i>. Both Java and XML are cross-platform technologies; by using Java for code and XML for transporting data, you can build truly portable applications. This title is aimed at intermediate to advanced programmers; while XML topics are explained more or less from scratch, readers will need prior knowledge of Java.

  New chapters on Advanced SAX, Advanced DOM, SOAP and data binding, as well as
  new
  
  
  examples throughout, bring the second edition of Java & XML thoroughly up to
  date. Except for a concise introduction to XML basics, the book focuses
  entirely on using XML from Java
  
  
  applications. It's a worthy companion for Java developers working with XML or
  involved in
  
  
  messaging, web services, or the new peer-to-peer movement.
