The Milyn Project is building Open-Source Java components for XML and non-XML Processing. Smooks

Smooks is a Java framework for managing and performing Fragment Based XML Processing (Transformation/Analysis).

Smooks can be used in conjunction with or as an alternative to XSLT for XML Transformation.

Smooks gives you more control when performing XML Transformations and Analysis by giving you the freedom to use the tools and programming languages most appropriate to the type of transformation in question (or your skillset).

* Mix and Match different tools and languages in the process of transforming a single message/document e.g. it may be easier to transform one part of the document using pure Java and another part using XSLT.
* Simplify your XSLT and StringTemplate Templates by combining the power of the Smooks Javabean and Templating Cartiridges.
* Analyse/Read your XML and non-XML data into named Javabeans using the Smooks Javabean Cartiridge.
