It's a very good XML API for the Java2 platform, and I suggest using it
rather than DOM WHEREVER, especially in servlets, where memory consumption
and time-to-garbage-collect _ARE_ important (and DOM seriously ignores all
that).
Don't even touch SAX, unless you don't have to go deep down into XML and do
some fine tuning on ultra-lightspeed processing and/or you have some very
very very specific requirements on what you have to do (consider JDOM like
Java and SAX like machine-code, three oceans between them).
Dom can be simply "garbage collected" in the list of useless specs :) :)
