Welcome to XMLBeam
An XML library for Java, but a really cool one.
If you are new here, please read the introduction. Are you in a hurry? Read the the tutorials!
This is how it looks
<xml>
<example>
<content>bar</content>
</example>
</xml>
Use XPath based collection types to directly read and change the XML DOM tree:
{
CloseableMap<String> map = new XBProjector().io().file("example.xml").bindAsMapOf(String.class);
String content = map.get("/xml/example/content");
map.put("/xml/example/content/@type", "foo");
map.close();
}
|
The result looks like this:
<xml>
<example>
<content type="foo"> bar </content>
</example>
</xml>

Over 6 months without a change, several productive usages without bug reports. Stable version 1.0 released in maven central repository.
2013-01-17
Snapshots are available in the sonatype snapshot repository. The I/O API has become more stable now. Preparing to have first release candidate soon.
2013-01-04
The project started in the end of 2012 and is currently still in the early publishing phase. Sources are hosted at Github, continuous integration is done by Jenkins at a private location. Snapshot and pre-release artifacts will be located at Sonatype soon. Until release of version 1.0, the XMLBeam API could keep changing. So the first deployment version to central repository will be 1.0.
