Comparison between woodstox and sjsxp

Question

Has anyone used the Stax implementation by Woodstox http://woodstox.codehaus.org and sjsxp https://sjsxp.dev.java.net/. I encountered a wierd issue with sjsxp XmlStreamReader not reading complete text value and tried woodstox which resolved my earlier issue.

I wanted to confirm with you guys if anyone has used woodstox before and what was the experience.

Answer 1

Apache CXF strongly recommends Woodstox. Faster and less buggy. We support sjsxp, but it is generally a source of mild-to-moderate hair pulling. Our default, validated by lots and lots of users, is Woodstox.
