What is the difference between JAXP and JAXB?

XOM, JDOM, dom4j, etc. etc. Projects like Castor and Apache XMLBeans predate JAXB, so you could have a look at those. Ulf Dittmer wrote: XOM, JDOM, dom4j, etc.
JAXB simplifies access to an XML document from a Java program by presenting the XML document to the program in a Java format. The first step in this process is to bind the schema for the XML document into a set of Java classes that represents the schema.
Introduction to JAXBIt supports a binding framework that maps XML elements and attributes to Java fields and properties using Java annotations. The JAXB-2 Maven plugin delegates most of its work to either of the two JDK-supplied tools XJC and Schemagen.
JAXB Advantages JAXB allows non-sequential processing of XML documents. In DOM we need to navigate a tree structure and JAXB doesn't requires such navigations. We work with java instances instead of event/elements. JAXB uses memory efficiently than DOM.
JAXP (Java API for XML Processing) is a rather outdated umbrella term covering the various low-level XML APIs in JavaSE, such as DOM, SAX and StAX.
JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) is a specific API (the stuff under javax.xml.bind) that uses annotations to bind XML documents to a java object model.
