Ethan Cerami has published Xerces Java: Quick Start, a guide for Java programmers getting started with the popular parser.
The Quick Start demonstrates Xerces' DOM and SAX functionality, giving developers access to both object model and event-based parsing. The tutorial includes a sample document and shows figures explaining the content of the DOM object model and the events returned by SAX, showing developers the results of both approaches.
Additional examples explore XML validation and error handling. The Quick Start isn't supposed to teach developers everything about the Xerces parser, but it should get them past the initial speedbumps and into XML development.
