XML Processing Approaches with Java

[Matt]

When I want to manipulate and retrieve data from XML file,
I used to use DOM or SAX, and this is JAXP API from Sun.

Some people told me I should use XPath instead, since it's easier for coding.
But we need to use apache's xalan library.

What do u think? please advise. thanks!!

Your question on the surface seems to be a
non-sequitor. Please explain what *you* think
is DOM, SAX, and XPath.
