[jdom-interest] * Using JDOM In Applet Help Needed

[Dennis Sosnoski]

You might want to look at Electric XML
(http://www.themindelectric.com/products/xml/xml.html). It's not as full featured as
JDOM and has some differences from SAX-based parser models, but it has the advantage
of needing only a 43K jar including parser.
