Apache AXIOM 1.1 Release Note
===========================================
http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom
This is Apache AXIOM 1.1 release, the next major version since v1.0.
Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building
of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree
building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built-in support for XML
Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data
efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these results in a easy to use API with a very
high performant architecture!
Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache AXIOM (AXIs Object Model)is the core of Apache Axis2. However, it is a pure
standalone XML Infoset model with novel features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2.
