XML parsing
I will be starting a project that will involve parsing a bunch of XML. My inclination is to use an existing XML parser; there certainly seem to be lots of them out there. However, our production system operates using a 1.1 JVM and needs to stay that way, at least in the short term, for a variety of reasons.
All the parsers I have found (like Suns JAXP) seem to require Java 1.4 and later.
Can anyone point me to a free reliable XML parser that will run on a 1.1 JVM?

I personally use the SAX parser (can be found at http://www.saxproject.org/) for my XML work. I don't know for certain whether it can be used with 1.1, but it is free and should be easy enough to test if it will.

Xerces uses SAX at the root level. At least, I use the xerces jar file and use SAX out of it.

Well gentlemen, I still felt like I was going around in circles for a while there. The saxproject page points to other pages to get an actual parser; so I go to the GNU page, which seems to point straight back to the sax page.
Anyway, I eventually found where to download the GNU stuff, which seems to include the saxproject stuff. Got it set, and now working in a sample project.
Points to girionis for finding the 1.1 reference. That provided sufficient comfort to actually go and try it.
