  <p>
   Always try to use only the standard XML APIs when writing
   XML applications. This will keep your application shielded
   from changes in the underlying implementation of those
   standard APIs and also gives you more flexibility to change
   the implementation of the standard pieces without modifying
   your application code.

 <s2 title='Xerces Native Interface Documentation'>
  <p>
   If you need functionality that is not available in the 
   standard APIs like DOM and SAX, then perhaps using the Xerces
   Native Interface (XNI) will provide the information to build
   the appropriate parsing tools for your application. For more
   detailed information regarding XNI, refer to the 
   <link idref='xni'>XNI Manual</link>.

 <s2 title='XML Schema API Documentation'>
  <p>
   The XML Schema API defines a set of interfaces for accessing and querying
   the post schema validation infoset (PSVI) defined in
   <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#PSVI_contributions">Contributions 
   to the post-schema-validation infoset (Appendix C.2)</jump>. These interfaces
   provide access to the XML Schema components, which follow as a consequence of 
   validation and/or assessment and also provide a means for accessing the PSVI 
   from a document instance.
  </p>
  <p>
   Some of the interfaces in the XML Schema API reference interfaces
   from <jump href="http://www.w3.org/DOM/DOMTR#dom3">DOM Level 3</jump>
   which are now in the <code>org.apache.xerces.dom3</code> package. The
   API will be updated to use the official DOM Level 3 package when DOM
   becomes a W3C Recommendation.
