Smooks Content Filtering and Serialisation Framework.

Overview

Smooks is a framework for filtering and serialisation content (XML/XHTML/HTML etc) in a manner that can be optimised for a given execution context e.g. optimised for the requesting browser in a Servlet Container. It allows you perform transformation tasks on messages using different technologies (Java, XSLT, StringTemplate etc) seperately or all at the same time i.e. it allows you mix technologies within the scope of a single message transformation.

Smooks can also be used simply as an XML analysis tool.
