xfpt is a program that reads a file of plain text that contains relatively simple markup, and outputs an XML file. It is intended to simplify the management of XML data. It is not a program that attempts to turn a plain text document into XML. Markup within text is introduced by ampersand characters, but is otherwise "soft". You can define what follows the ampersand, for example, &" to generate a "quote" element. There is also a macro facility that allows for higher level concepts such as chapters, displays, tables, etc.
The Beryl XML GUI library was written to ease the development of graphical user interfaces using Swing on Java. It lets you store user interfaces as XML markup. This will help you avoid unnecessary clutter in your source - Swing code mixed with application logic can become a troublesome and hard to read mess as the application size increases. The library comes with a visual component builder, which makes development a breeze. The most important features are:
he goal of XMLVM is to offer a flexible and extensible cross-compiler toolchain. Instead of cross-compiling on a source code level, XMLVM cross-compiles byte code instructions from Sun Microsystem's virtual machine and Microsoft's Common Language Runtime. The benefit of this approach is that byte code instructions are easier to cross-compile and the difficult parsing of a high-level programming language is left to a regular compiler. In XMLVM, byte code-based programs are represented as XML documents. This allows manipulation and translation of XMLVM-based programs using advanced XML technologies such as XSLT, XQuery, and XPath.

XRules is an XML business rules language that expresses constraints, calculations, interdependencies, and properties that describe and exist among elements and attributes of an XML document. XRules can be used to validate business rules in an XML transaction, attach metadata to the XML Infoset, or add dynamism to XML by using the Dynamic DOM.
About XStream
XStream is a simple library to serialize objects to XML and back again.
Features
* Ease of use. A high level facade is supplied that simplifies common use cases.
* No mappings required. Most objects can be serialized without need for specifying mappings.
* Performance. Speed and low memory footprint are a crucial part of the design, making it suitable for large object graphs or systems with high message throughput.
* Clean XML. No information is duplicated that can be obtained via reflection. This results in XML that is easier to read for humans and more compact than native Java serialization.
* Requires no modifications to objects. Serializes internal fields, including private and final. Supports non-public and inner classes. Classes are not required to have default constructor.
* Full object graph support. Duplicate references encountered in the object-model will be maintained. Supports circular references.
* Integrates with other XML APIs. By implementing an interface, XStream can serialize directly to/from any tree structure (not just XML).
* Customizable conversion strategies. Strategies can be registered allowing customization of how particular types are represented as XML.
* Error messages. When an exception occurs due to malformed XML, detailed diagnostics are provided to help isolate and fix the problem.
* Alternative output format. The modular design allows other output formats. XStream ships currently with JSON support and morphing.
The eXtensible Text Framework (XTF) is a powerful open source platform for providing access to digital content. Developed and maintained by the California Digital Library (CDL), XTF functions as the primary access technology for the CDL's digital collections and other digital projects worldwide.
