It's an Apache Jakarta Commons project, with a couple of stable releases behind it. It mixes the best of both worlds. You specify your rules by 'coding' them, and it uses a SAX parser to fire them off.

  Just what I was thinking. It's a layer on top of SAX, where you register certain actions to be taken when XPath-specified * patterns are met.

  
  The URL is:

  
  http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester.html

  
  But most of the docs (incl. examples) are at:

  
  http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/commons-digester-1.1.1/docs/api/index.html

  
  
  * (Well not XPath, just '/foo/bar'-type patterns)
