14 November 2006 - Apache AXIOM (WebServices Commons) 1.2 Released

We, the Apache AXIOM development team (Under the Apache WebServices Commons Subproject) members, are proud to announce the release of Version 1.2 of Apache AXIOM. (Download : http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom/download.cgi )

Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel "pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built-in support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent manner. The combination of these results in a easy to use API with a very high performant architecture!

• Full XML Infoset compliant XML object model
• StAX based builders with on-demand building and pull-through
• XOP/MTOM support offering direct binary support
• Convenient SOAP Infoset API on top of AXIOM
