TrAX is the Transformation API for XML. In November 2000, TrAX was revised and incorporated into JAXP, the JAVA API for XML Processing. JAXP (including TrAX) provides users a standard, vendor-neutral API for working with (and transforming) XML documents. You can use this API to build applications that are not bound to the particular implementation details of a given XML parser or XSL transformer. Xalan-Java includes the JAXP packages, implements the TrAX portion of that API (javax.xml.transform….), and includes xercesImpl.jar from Xerces-Java, which implements the parser portion of the API (javax.xml.parser….). For more information, see TRaX (Transformation API for XML) and Java API for XML Processing 1.1 Public Review 2.
