XML

XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is a universal syntax for describing and structuring data independent from the application logic. Several JSRs focus on developing Java technology APIs specifically targeted at building XML-based applications.

5		XML Parsing Specification
Description:		The JavaTM API for XML Parsing (JAXP) allows developers to easily use XML Parsers in their applications via the industry standard SAX and DOM APIs.
Status:		Final
Latest Stage:		Final Release Download page Start: 2000-03-21
Spec Lead:		Rajiv Mordani, Oracle

31		XML Data Binding Specification
Description:		A facility for compiling an XML schema into one or more JavaTM classes which can parse, generate, and validate documents that follow the schema.

Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		Withdrawn at the request of the Specification Lead.
Latest Stage:		Withdrawn Effective: 2011-03-22
Spec Lead:		Jason Hunter, Hunter, Jason

104		XML Trust Service APIs
Description:		This defines a standard set of APIs and a protocol for a "Trust Service", minimizing the complexity of applications using XML Signature.
Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		The Java world has moved on since 2001 and the need for this JSR has declined.
Latest Stage:		Withdrawn Effective: 2009-06-11
Submitter:		Anthony Nadalin, IBM

105		XML Digital Signature APIs
Description:		This defines and incorporates a standard set of high-level implementation-independent APIs for XML digital signatures services. The XML Digital Signature specification is defined by the W3C.
Status:		Final
Latest Stage:		Final Release Download page Start: 2005-06-24
Spec Lead:		Sean Mullan, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Spec Lead:		Sean Mullan, Oracle

106		XML Digital Encryption APIs
Description:		This JSR is to define a standard set of APIs for XML digital encryption services. This proposal is to define and incorporate the high level implementation independent Java APIs.
Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		Withdrawn at the request of the Specification Lead.
Latest Stage:		Withdrawn Effective: 2010-05-04
Spec Lead:		Bruce Rich, IBM

156		Java API for XML Transactions
Description:		JAXTX provides an API for packaging and transporting ACID transactions (as in JTA) and extended transactions (e.g., the BTP from OASIS) using the protocols being defined by OASIS, W3C.
Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		Withdrawn at the request of the Spec Lead.
Latest Stage:		Withdrawn Effective: 2010-02-18

157		ebXML CPP/A APIs for Java
Description:		This JSR is to provide a standard set of APIs for representing and manipulating Collaboration Profile and Agreement information described by ebXML CPP/A (Collaboration Protocol Profile/Agreement)documents.
Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		Withdrawn at the request of the Spec Lead.
Latest Stage:		Withdrawn Effective: 2010-07-30
Spec Lead:		Himagiri Mukkamala, Sybase

173		Streaming API for XML
Description:		The Streaming API for XML (StAX) is a Java based API for pull-parsing XML.
Status:		Withdrawn
Reason:		Since version 1.0, JSR 173 StAX API has been distributed as both a standalone technology and part of the Java SE. The API has been stable without any significant changes since then and the need to use newer releases of the StAX API with shipping releases of Java SE has mostly disappeared in recent years. In accordance with JCP 2.10 Process Document, 3.3.1.4 Platform inclusion, we are announcing the end of JSR 173 StAX Standalone distribution. After MR5, StAX 1.4, the technology that JSR 173 defines will be delivered as a part of the Java SE solely. Future changes in the StAX API will be defined through the Platform JSR. The subsumption of the StAX API into the Platform JSR does not change any mechanisms defined in StAX. The service provider interfaces are the same except that they will then be directly specified in the Platform JSR. Deployment of alternative implementations of the StAX APIs will continue to be supported.
