What is relation between JAXP and Xerces?Xerces is a group of libraries for parsing, serializing, validating and manipulating XML. It implements a number of standard APIs for XML parsing, which includes DOM and SAX.
JAXP is an API which is more accurately known as abstraction layer. JAXP provides an easy access for using SAX and DOM for dealing with some difficult tasks. Certain vendor-specific tasks could be accessed in a vendor-neutral way.
JAXP and Xerces are similar in playing a role to deal with database like Oracle’s JDBC driver for Oracle.
