FluentXML4J - a fluent API for XML in Java

XML parsing, serialization XPath querying and transformation without boilerplate code

Features

• Simple, fluent API but full flexibility
• Parse from java.io inputs to org.w3c.dom.Document
• Serialize org.w3c.dom.Document to any java.io output
• Transform from java.io, SAX, StAX, JAXB input to any of them with XSLT and custom filters support
• Query org.w3c.dom.Document via XPath for String, Boolean, Number, org.w3c.dom.Element or Node, get the results as collections or process with the Java 8 Streaming API
• Validate document against schemas
• No (required) dependencies

Requirements

FluentXML4J uses the builtin JDK XML parser and XPath API, but Java 8 is required because of streaming API and Optional support.
