If all you really care about is text, elements and attributes then XPPReader is fine. If you really worry about preserving the exact textual format of the document or reading comments, CDATA, processing instructions and so forth, then stick with SAXReader - otherwise XPPReader should be fine. e.g. if you're working with SOAP, then XPPReader is great. One of these days it'd be really cool to get it working totally lazily too, so as you navigate the document it gets parsed.
