Andy,
The method is thread-safe, as should be all public API XmlObject methods. There is one special case: the usage of a non documented option that would make it not thread safe, which is most probably not your case. Hope this answers your question.

Is XmlObject.Factory.parse() thread-safe? I have many concurrent threads calling this method and want to make sure each thread is getting back what it is supposed to. Thanks-
