Hey guys,

I'm writing a program to help people track various items and placing them
on a calendar. These items are mainly ones that reoccur (monthly bills
for example). Each item (or task) has various properties that are set for
it and I was thinking of storing all the data in an XML file. I'd parse
the file and have the data available throughout the execution of the
program. Updates to the file would occur when someone edits a task to
change its re-occurrence frequency, etc. Therefore I will need to both
easily parse and write new XML files. I don't have a DTD or schema
developed and I may later so any API I use will have to work w/o that for
now. Can anyone suggest a simple API for parsing/writing my own made-up
XML files? I've ruled out SAX since it only parses and was thinking of
using DOM but I don't know if that will work because I've never did any
programming with XML before.

thanks for any pointers


Maybe a Java-XML binding framework?
XStream, Castor, JAXB come to mind.

OTOH, why not some database technology?
