While warning that the software is "less than alpha, so enter at your own risk", Stefan Haustein posted an initial release of kXML, a parsing API that can be used on small devices running Sun's KVM.

The kXML toolkit includes:

• Namespace support (as proposed in Common XML)
• A Pull-based parser for simplified parsing of nested / modularized XML structures
• WAP support (WBXML / WML)
• A lean DOM (kDOM, not compatible with the W3C DOM)

Haustein released the software in response to a request from Constantine Plotnikov for pull-oriented parsers. Christopher K. St.John also replied with a suggestion for an expat wrapper.
