we are proud to announce the release of Version 1.2 of Apache AXIOM!
(Download : http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom/download.cgi )

Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which
supports on-demand building  of the object tree. It supports a novel
"pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree  building and
directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built-in
support for XML  Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of
which allows XML to carry binary data  efficiently and in a transparent
manner. The combination of these results in a easy to use API with a
very  high performant architecture!
