hey,

i have written xml pull parser that is small, namespaces aware, reusable, low
memory consumption and size (just 4 classes + 2 exception) also fast and above
of all open source. you will not need to create a layer on top of SAX2 (with
event queue and extra thread) and you can have also direct access to XML
tokenizer if necessary.

i was also thinking about layering XMLReader on top of it but right now i do not
have time to work on it :-)

you can get source and docs from http://www.extreme.indiana.edu/soap/#download

thanks,
