If your XML does not use *any* bells or whistles (DTDs, namespaces,
entities,
and you are really in a closed world rather than getting data from the
general
public, you might like to try SPARTA at
http://sparta-xml.sourceforge.net/
"Sparta is a lightweight Java XML package that includes an XML parser, a
DOM, and an XPath interpreter. The code-size is small, the parser is
fast, the object memory size is small, and the DOM API is clean and simple.
Thermopylae is a wrapper around Sparta that allows it to be used as a
drop-in replacement for Xerces. It presents a W3C-standard parser and DOM.
Sparta was originally written in Hewlett-Packard Labs to support a
project creating an infrastructure for building agile applications that
distribute themselves throughout the global Internet and aggregate
ensembles of local appliances."
