JAXP (Java API for XML Processing)

JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) is a set of tools in Java that allows developers to read, manipulate, and write XML documents easily. It provides standard methods and interfaces to parse XML data into structures Java programs can work with, convert data back into XML format, and validate XML content against rules. Think of it as a toolkit that simplifies handling XML files within Java applications, making it easier to exchange structured information across different systems while ensuring data consistency and correctness.
