Parsers used in Batik

[Christopher Tremblay <Ch...@corel.com>]

Hi,
 
I just have a question concerning the parsers that are used in Batik.  I
am a little confused.
I believe the project is using 
Xerces for XML parsing,
Koala for CSS parsing and
Xalan for XSLT...  is this correct?
If so, why is there a Crimson XML parser, is this just for the build
process?
 
thanks in advance,
Chris

The only external library needed by the Batik applications is a SAX2 parser. 
Crimson (in lib/crimson-parser.jar) is used by default.
 
The jar files in lib/build are used during the build process only.
Ant comes with Crimson, Stylebook (the documentation tool) comes with Xalan 
and Xerces. We let each application use its preferred XML parser to avoid 
possible version and compatibility problems.
