The Apache XML Project used to be the home for many XML-related subprojects, many of which have moved to top-level project status recently or are currently in migration. The Apache XML Project slowly transforms into an place where you can find pointers to XML-related projects here in the Apache Software Foundation. The remaining subprojects directly under the supervision of the XML PMC are:

• AxKit - XML-based web publishing, in mod_perl
• Crimson - A Java XML parser derived from the Sun Project X Parser.
• Xang - Rapid development of dynamic server pages, in JavaScript
• Xindice - A native XML database.
• XML Commons - focussed on common code and guidelines for XML projects
• XML Security - Java and C++ implementations of the XML signature and encryption standards
  

Companies have completed the first phase of a Microsoft-sponsored project to create software that can convert Microsoft Word documents between Open XML and Open Document Format for Office Applications file formats. The Open XML Translator is now available for download in version 1.0 from SourceForge.net, a site that acts as an online repository for open-source projects. The software also can be found on Microsoft's Web site here and here. Microsoft funded the work on the translator, but did not contribute any code to the project, said Jason Matusow, senior director of intellectual property and interoperability at Microsoft. The company provided architectural guidance and management to the project, he said.

This is the list of Frequently-Asked Questions about the Extensible Markup Language (XML). It has answers to most of the common questions people ask about XML. If you are seeking answers to questions about related areas such as HTML, SGML, CGI scripts, PHP, JSP, Java, databases, or penguins, you may find some pointers, but you should probably look elsewhere as well. The FAQ is intended as a first resource for users, authors, developers, and the interested reader.
