- METS API
(source: Scott Yeadon / via Benoît, 23/12/08)
"To help with testing some of my METS document building/processing I created a DOM-based Java API for building and processing METS documents. When using the Java XML APIs to process METS documents I found myself repeating lots of code and to think at an XML API level and METS object level at the same time which indicated I needed an extra level of abstraction (similar to that of the Harvard METS toolkit but XML-based and structured more in the way I typically process METS (e.g. being able to quickly get hold of any file, plus div and associated dmdSec without traversing all elements each time or the overhead of XPath indexes)."
