LiteXMLParser™ (LXP) is a small (roughly 90 KB, including SAX and JAXP classes) JAXP 1.2 compliant SAX 2 parser, suitable for pre-JDK 1.4 environments where disk and memory resources are limited.

LXP provides JAXP wrapper classes on top of the open source MinML2 SAX 2 parser developed by John Wilson. The JAXP layer makes it usable as a pluggable parser in applications relying on this standard Java API, such as our LiteWebServer (LWS) product (LXP is bundled with LWS).

The SAX 2 implementation is not complete, but sufficent for many applications. The main omission is that DTDs are read but ignored. None of the SAX 2 extensions are implemented.
