Hi all,

I've be recently introduced to an excellent alternative to the push parsers
like SAX and DOM.  Although there is no widely accepted standard like SAX
for pull parsers, they are a great alternative, allowing you to control how
the parser functions and solving issues like handling streaming XML and
controlling threading (hard problems for push parsers that really put a
crimp on things).

A good place to start is the J2ME capable kXML parser at www.enhydra.org.
Small, open source, and easy to use.

I'm just starting to look at the technology but I wanted to let developers
know about this cool tool.  I wish I knew about it 6 months ago!
