Best StAX Implementation [closed]


Woodstox wins every time for me. It's not just performance, either - sjsxp is twitchy and overly pedantic, woodstox just gets on with it.


Interesting to note that:

SJSXP performance is consistently faster than BEA, Oracle and RI for all of the documents described here in this study. However, it lags behind Woodstox and XPP3 in some document sizes and in the best cases, exhibits similar performance compared to these two parsers.
