| | O'Reilly: Java and XML: Interested Parties Apply Here |
 | | JDOM, the Java Document Object Model, is a new API for handling XML from Java. |
 | | Perhaps more important than the JDOM API itself is the shift in paradigm that it represents; instead of forcing Java developers to become XML gurus, it allows developers to leverage their existing Java expertise, and brings XML to them. |
 | | In fact, I would argue that the converse is true: XML gurus, and Java developers who do live and breathe XML, have a responsibility to leave their preconceptions and high standards at the door; and they need to work to make XML easy to use, simple to understand, and exciting to implement. |
