Apache AXIOM 1.0 Release Note
===========================================
http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom
After nearly 2 years of development and numerous incremental releases, we are proud to announce the
release of Version 1.0 of Apache AXIOM!
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 is an easy to use API with a very
high performant architecture!
Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache AXIOM 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.
