What's New contains this topic:
DOM Stream access to XML nodes is done by PL/SQL and Java APIs. Nodes in an XML document can now exceed 64 KBytes by a large amount.
See Also:
"Large Node Handling"The new XDK compact binary XML processors provide an encoder, a decoder, and a token manager to convert the schema or non-schema-based stream to and from XML 1.0 text and SAX events. The format is the same used in Oracle XML DB Developer's Guide.
See Also:
Chapter 5, "Using Binary XML for Java"Binary XML adds a third storage model for persistent XML in the database: binary XML. Java and C APIs, and PL/SQL packages are affected. Binary XML support in the C API is used for both XML Developer's Kit and XML DB.
See Also:
Chapter 19, "Using Binary XML for C"Support is now provided for a scalable, pluggable DOM in Java:
Scalable DOM
support for Java includes lazy loading of DOM
nodes, DOM
updates of binary XML, multiple applications sharing the same DOM
source, binary XML as output, and shadow copy in DOM
.
Pluggable DOM splits the DOM implementation into two separate layers: DOM
API layer and data layer. The data is either internal or plug-in, and are accessed through an implementation of the InfosetReader
interface.
Configurable support for Java DOM is provided.
See Also:
"Scalable DOM"The Unified Java API for XML allows mid-tier Java programs to leverage all the benefits of XMLType
used with a session pool model of connection management. This allows XMLType
object to be disconnected from the database session used to create it.
See Also:
Chapter 2, " Unified Java API for XML"JAXP 1.3 support for XPath
with extensions improves Java XSLT
performance. Support is for static and dynamic context and users can register runtime context.
HTTP
server for SOA
is enabled. The database is capable of exposing PL/SQL packages, procedures, and functions as Web Services. The database is capable of executing dynamic XQuery
and SQL
queries.
See Also:
Chapter 22, "Using SOAP with the C XDK"Chapters on SOAP for Java and C++ were removed.
XmlDiff
for C detects the differences between two XML documents and represents the difference in XML. XmlPatch
outputs the differences and applies the changes on the target XML document.
The JSR 170 standard is supported.
See Also:
"Standards and Specifications"The C Pull Parser reduces memory overhead compared to the SAX model.

"What is the XML Pull Parser for C?"Streaming Validator support for C improves XML processing.
