The Apache Axiom Team is pleased to announce the release of Axiom 2.0.0. The release is available for download at: http://ws.apache.org/axiom/download.cgi Apache Axiom is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these is an easy to use API with a very high performant architecture!
Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache Axiom is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2. Axiom 2 introduces breaking changes to remove the dependency of axiom-api on classes in thejavax.activation package, in particular DataHandler: Jira issues completed for 2.0.0: Bug [AXIOM-516] - Recent Axiom versions serialize character references differently [AXIOM-518] - AXIOM DOAP file has a parsing error [AXIOM-519] - NullPointerException after using setOptimize(true) on a plain OMTex t node Improvement [AXIOM-506] - Upgrade to org.glassfish 3.0.1 and jakarta packages
