# Support for XOM Object Model

Saxon now supports the XOM object model (see http://www.xom.nu/) alongside DOM, JDOM, and the native Saxon object model.

As with the JDOM interface, you can wrap a XOM Document node in a wrapper that makes it into a Saxon `DocumentInfo` and a JAXP `Source` object, which can then be used as input to methods such as the JAXP `transform()` method; it can also be returned by a URIResolver in response to calls on the `doc()` and `document()` functions.

The new JAXP 1.3 XPath API also offers support for accessing XOM documents using XPath.

The XOM interface to Saxon was written by Wolfgang Hoschek, using the existing JDOM interface as a starting point.

To use the XOM interface, you need to instal XOM itself, and you also need to have `saxon-xom.jar` on your class path.
