I never liked XML, and always tried to avoid it. And the day finally has come.

When I tried to parse XML it was really hard. I used DOM parser, when I called getChildNodes() of a Node, it returned NodeList. I had to use casting while using XPath.

Is there any Java XML parsing library that is similar to WebDriver’s WebElement mechanism, where getChildNodes() returns List<Node> (or Collection, Iterable etc.), I don’t need to do casting.In other words, is there a XML parser library that is elegant and simple.

The library can be read only, I don’t need manipulation.

    dom4j started using generics, and Collection with version 2.0.

    The documentation is not very good for 2.0 but the old documentation serves well.
