What do you like best about Apache Xerces?

Apache Xerces has gained a reputation for being one of the top tools for XML Parsing. The parsing is done in detail and it is multi-dimensional. It supports all the major XML parsing API standards like DOM, SAX, StAX, and JAXP. Since it is Java-based, it means that it can be used in various scenarios of Javascripting and it can handle the flow of XML data between the front and back entities and also covert the data or change few tags if required. It can be coupled with other programming languages as well like Phyton or pearl, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Xerces?

Apache Xerces is quite useful and perfect for the basic purpose of XML parsing. But if you are looking for something more complex which offers additional advanced features and probably also includes JSON as well than this might not be a good fit for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Xerces:

If XML is going to be the primary structure of the data which is going to be used in the project. Then I will strongly recommend Apache Xerces to you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Xerces solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have used it in the project a lot to verify the XML message structure, semantics, etc. The usage is pretty straightforward and it is quite light on the system as well. It is very handy when you are dealing with exclusively XML messages as it can help you validate, manipulate and even change the message completely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Apache Xerces?

I like it because we can use the XML file to verify, write an XML document or dynamically alter an XML document. It is used in a variety of J2EE database modules, using XML for the interaction and transmission of information in the network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Apache Xerces?

There is nothing I don't like about the Xerces Library, it is one of several other fundamental market analysts. It has other libraries such as XPAth, JAXB and JAXP, which can provide functionality other than simple SAX and DOM parsers, however, if you want better implementations of XML parsers. Even. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Apache Xerces:

I strongly recommend for companies that really need software with capabilities for web application development and that need an XML parser to validate, analyze and modify XML files using SAX and DOM parsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Apache Xerces solving and how is that benefiting you?

In developing web applications for bio-computing projects we have used it. In the program collection, libraries are included. Due to its XML Document Parser this program has solved all the problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is an implementation of XML Parsing - both SAX and DOM parser as an library under the apache library. As such there is nothing to dislike about the Xerces Library, it is one of the implementations among various other basic parsers present in the market.
