If you want some targeted search terms to find the information you're after, search for JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) and/or JAXB (Java API for XML Binding)* on Google. There's nothing specific to Applets that makes parsing and processing XML any different from any other Java VM environment. [EDIT] You can also search for SAX (Simple API for XML) and StAX (Streaming API for XML), as they may be simpler to implement quickly [/EDIT] Cheers! *Note: XML binding is a more advanced concept, and is not necessary for simple XML parsing. It can be used to easily model XML objects in Java classes. -- Modified Wednesday, June 8, 2011 2:47 PM
