Xerces2 is the next generation of high performance, fully compliant XML parsers in the Apache Xerces family. This new version of Xerces introduces the Xerces Native Interface (XNI), a complete framework for building parser components and configurations that is extremely modular and easy to program. The Apache Xerces2 parser is the reference implementation of XNI but other parser components, configurations, and parsers can be written using the Xerces Native Interface. For complete design and implementation documents, refer to the XNI Manual. Xerces2 is a fully conforming XML Schema 1.0 processor. A partial experimental implementation of the XML Schema 1.1 Structures and Datatypes Working Drafts (December 2009) and an experimental implementation of the XML Schema Definition Language (XSD): Component Designators (SCD) Candidate Recommendation (January 2010) are provided for evaluation. For more information, refer to the XML Schema page. Xerces2 also provides a complete implementation of the Document Object Model Level 3 Core and Load/Save W3C Recommendations and provides a complete implementation of the XML Inclusions (XInclude) W3C Recommendation. It also provides support for OASIS XML Catalogs v1.1. Xerces2 is able to parse documents written according to the XML 1.1 Recommendation, except that it does not yet provide an option to enable normalization checking as described in section 2.13 of this specification. It also handles namespaces according to the XML Namespaces 1.1 Recommendation, and will correctly serialize XML 1.1 documents if the DOM level 3 load/save APIs are in use.

There is a newer version: 2.12.2-xml-schema-1.1

  <p>
   Always try to use only the standard XML APIs when writing
   XML applications. This will keep your application shielded
   from changes in the underlying implementation of those
   standard APIs and also gives you more flexibility to change
   the implementation of the standard pieces without modifying
   your application code.

 <s2 title='Xerces Native Interface Documentation'>
  <p>
   If you need functionality that is not available in the 
   standard APIs like DOM and SAX, then perhaps using the Xerces
   Native Interface (XNI) will provide the information to build
   the appropriate parsing tools for your application. For more
   detailed information regarding XNI, refer to the 
   <link idref='xni'>XNI Manual</link>.

   The <jump href="http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-xmlschema-api-20040309/">XML Schema API</jump> 
   specification defines a set of interfaces for accessing and querying the post schema 
   validation infoset (PSVI) defined in 
   <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/#PSVI_contributions">Contributions 
   to the post-schema-validation infoset (Appendix C.2) [XML Schema 1.0]</jump> and 
   <jump href="http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema11-1/#PSVI_contributions">Contributions 
   to the post-schema-validation infoset (Appendix B.2) [XML Schema 1.1]</jump>. These interfaces
   provide access to the XML Schema components, which follow as a consequence of 
   validation and/or assessment and also provide a means for accessing the PSVI 
   from a document instance.

  <p>
   Some of the interfaces in the XML Schema API reference interfaces

   For maintainers and developers of the Xerces2 reference
   implementation, it's important to know the internal APIs
   used.

 <s2 title='XML Schema 1.1 API Documentation'>
  <p>
   Xerces-J's XML Schema 1.1 API documentation would have some differences as compared to 
   API documentation of XML Schema 1.0 implementation. To view the API documentation of
   Xerces-J's XML Schema 1.1 implementation, you would have to view 'docs' folder within 
   Xerces's XML Schema 1.1 download package.
