I don't know if it's still the case, but I know a recent EAD project
that tried to use Castor said that it had problems with mixed content
models. -- Clay

I now need to read XML. Unlike indexing and doing OAI-PMH, there are
a myriad of tools for reading and writing XML. I've done SAX before.
I think I've done a bit of DOM. If I wanted a straight-forward and
well-supported Java package that supported these APIs, then what
package might I use?
If the data you're manipulating is partially or fully described by a
Schema or DTD, consider using a package such as Castor (castor.org)
I think I recall hearing in the past that Castor had trouble with
XML files that used mixed content models (a set into which TEI and
EAD both fall) - can anyone confirm if that's currently the case
(or that it never was and I'm completely misremembering)?
