The XML FAQ: Can I use Java to create or manage XML files?

C.22 Can I use Java to create or manage XML files?

Yes, any programming language can be used to output data from any source in XML format. There is a growing number of front-ends and back-ends for programming environments and data management environments to automate this. Java is just the most popular one at the moment.

There is a large body of middleware (APIs) written in Java and other languages for managing data either in XML or with XML input or output. There is a suite of Java tutorials (with source code and explanation) available at http://developerlife.com.

Note

Please do not mail the FAQ editor with questions about your Java programming bugs. Ask one of the Java newsgroups instead, or sign up for the XML SummerSchool, where there is usually a session on using Java and XML.
