From the dom4j FAQ (http://dom4j.org/faq.html):
<quote>
DOM is a quite large language independent API. dom4j is a simpler, lightweight API which is optimised for the Java making extensive use of the Java 2 platform such as the Java 2 collections.
Though dom4j fully supports the DOM standard allowing both APIs to be used easily together.
</quote>
Basically it's easier to use and more Java-friendly than the standard API (because the standard API follows the W3C spec, which wasn't written with Java in mind).

PS: Hey website maintainer... looks like that FAQ page needs some proofreading: "...optimised for the Java..."? Also, starting the second sentence with "Though" is awkward.
