This is my real dilemma. I think an XML parsing engine should be able to take a validated XML file and output:
tag_name = tag_value and understand where one record stops and another record begins. For crying out loud, I can write the thing myself in a few hours, but I want to remain open-source standard. Is there an XML parser that simply reads the tags and puts them into a collection indexed by record?

Any (related) > suggestions are greatly appreciated. I've used both of these, though not JDOM enough to comment on it. My favorite XML tool right now is Digester. To me, it has a smaller development footprint than Castor and gives you at least the same XML parsing capability. I used both Castor and Digester to parse configuration files. To use Castor I had to write a schema and the castor "client" code, which was pretty big and I had to put up with the objects it generated. For Digester I wrote a RuleSet class, some value objects and a very small amount of "client" code. I didn't write (but should've written) a DTD.
