StaxMate is a light-weight framework that adds convenience to streaming XML-processing without significant additional overhead.
It builds on top of StAX (JSR-173) compliant processors such as Woodstox , and offers two basic abstractions:

• Cursors, which build on XMLStreamReaders
• Output objects, which build on XMLStreamWriters.

Also included are interoperability support features like:

• Ability to build DOM trees using Stax readers, write DOM trees using stream writers.
