Noting the scarcity of DTD parsers for Java, Mark Wutka has released a standalone version of the DTD parser he has developed for Jox.

This lightweight parser--which does not rely on any other package--reads and parses a DTD file, storing the retrieved information in a DTD object, which Wutka says "is similar to the Document object in the DOM model".

In his announcement, Wutka says he is open to suggestions:

Any suggestions are welcome, especially with regard to the data model. I was just kinda winging it and I don't know if what I came up with is suitable for everyone.

The DTD parser is available for download under the Lesser GPL (LGPL) license.
