I haven't been very impressed by the progress of StAX, nor by its dubious advantages over XMLPull. Still, if they ever get this out in a usable form it'd be nice to support it.Now that Sun has released the Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP) 1.5 with an implementation of JSR 173, the Streaming APIs for XML (StAX). The implementation is called Sun Java Streaming XML Parser (SJSXP) v1.0 EA. What are the main differences between StAX and XMLPull? Will future versions of JiBX use StAX in addition to or instead of XMLPull?
Just curious,
I haven't checked the JWSDP download, but EA usually means you're prohibited from redistributing the component. The StAX RI home page http://stax.codehaus.org/ doesn't say anything about a production release, so I suspect this is just a code drop they included in the JWSDP because people think StAX has dropped off the map and Sun wants to show progress. Still, if someone is interested in adding support I can point them in the right direction - it should be easy to modify the existing UnmarshallingContext to use a StAX parser in place of XMLPull, and once we see what the issues are I can separate the parser out in a pluggable interface to provide support once StAX can be distributed.
