JSRs: Java Specification Requests
List by JCP Technology

XML

XML, the Extensible Markup Language, is a universal syntax for describing and structuring data independent from the application logic. Several JSRs focus on developing Java technology APIs specifically targeted at building XML-based applications.

5		XML Parsing Specification
Description:		The JavaTM API for XML Parsing (JAXP) allows developers to easily use XML Parsers in their applications via the industry standard SAX and DOM APIs.
Spec Lead:		Rajiv Mordani, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

31		XML Data Binding Specification
Description:		A facility for compiling an XML schema into one or more JavaTM classes which can parse, generate, and validate documents that follow the schema.
Spec Lead:		Joe Fialli, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Spec Lead:		Sekhar Vajjhala, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

63		JavaTM API for XML Processing 1.1
Description:		The proposed specification will define a set of implementation independent portable APIs supporting XML Processing.
Spec Lead:		Rajiv Mordani, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

67		JavaTM APIs for XML Messaging 1.0
Description:		JAXM provides an API for packaging and transporting business transactions using on-the-wire protocols being defined by ebXML.org, Oasis, W3C and IETF.
Spec Lead:		V B Kumar Jayanti, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

93		JavaTM API for XML Registries 1.0 (JAXR)

Description:		This defines and incorporates a standard set of high-level implementation-independent APIs for XML digital signatures services. The XML Digital Signature specification is defined by the W3C.
Spec Lead:		Sean Mullan, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Spec Lead:		Anthony Nadalin, IBM

106		XML Digital Encryption APIs
Description:		This JSR is to define a standard set of APIs for XML digital encryption services. This proposal is to define and incorporate the high level implementation independent Java APIs.
Spec Lead:		Anthony Nadalin, IBM

156		Java API for XML Transactions
Description:		JAXTX provides an API for packaging and transporting ACID transactions (as in JTA) and extended transactions (e.g., the BTP from OASIS) using the protocols being defined by OASIS, W3C.
Spec Lead:		Jonathan Halliday, Red Hat Middleware LLC

157		ebXML CPP/A APIs for Java
Description:		This JSR is to provide a standard set of APIs for representing and manipulating Collaboration Profile and Agreement information described by ebXML CPP/A (Collaboration Protocol Profile/Agreement)documents.
