Scala and XML

Scala is a popular new programming language that runs on the Java™ Virtual Machine (JVM.) Scala compiles into byte-code and thus it can leverage the Java programming language. Its syntax, however, makes it a powerful alternative to Java code in certain scenarios. One of those scenarios is XML processing. Scala lets you navigate and process parsed XML in several ways. It also has first class support for XML built right in, so you don't need to create strings of XML or programmatically build DOM trees. In this article, you will see these aspects of Scala in action and see how Scala can make working with XML a joy to do. Scala and XML
