[ANN] Apache AXIOM 1.0 Released

http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom

After nearly 2 years of development and numerous incremental releases,
we are proud to announce the release of Version 1.0 of Apache AXIOM!
(Download : http://ws.apache.org/commons/axiom/download.cgi )

Apache AXIOM is a StAX-based, XML Infoset compliant object model which
supports on-demand building of the object tree. It supports a novel
"pull-through" model which allows one to turn off the tree building and
directly access the underlying pull event stream. It also has built in
support for XML Optimized Packaging (XOP) and MTOM, the combination of
which allows XML to carry binary data efficiently and in a transparent
manner. The combination of these is an easy to use API with a very
high performant architecture!

Developed as part of Apache Axis2, Apache AXIOM is the core of Apache
Axis2. However, it is a pure standalone XML Infoset model with novel
features and can be used independently of Apache Axis2.
