This tutorial is a quick start guide to using the open source Xerces Java XML Parser from Apache Software Foundation (also known as Xerces-J, or Xerces).

The piece provides an overview to Xerces programming which covers the differences between tree-based and event-based XML interfaces and also includes: how to instantiate DOM and SAX parsers, how to turn the optional validation on, and tips about capturing errors.

Java and XML source code are loaded along with links to additional resources.
